I have an app that previously worked fine, but has started to repeatedly ask for the registration details. I have entered the details several time and the app reports that it has been successful, but the next time I start it, it does the same again. This has only began happening in the last 7-10 days. Any idea's anyone, please?
Hi, is this a UWP app (from the Store) or a traditional downloaded and installed program for which you had a license?
It might help too if you could say which program it is. Thanks.
It was an old game, Sudoku by a developer called Pappacom. Purchased in 2015.
No. It was originally downloaded as a free trial from CNET, then upgraded to a paid version.
If the developer is out of business, it's possible it's trying to verify its license with a site that no longer responds.
You might be able to check internet transactions to see if that's so if you wished. Or you might be able to find a free replacement.
The funny thing is that it initially reports that the entered details are correct and that it has been successfully registered. It's only after a while that it requests the details to be re-entered. i wondered if there was something i could adjust in the Registry to rectify the situation
I'm fond of Sudoko too. I play on the web at https://www.websudoku.com/ but they also offer a download to run offline, free trial and $14.95 to purchase. The free web site is sufficient for my purposes.
