Question

Can anyone help me get my version of FM 10 updated with the TCS3Update.zip patch?

I'm trying to get FM 10 working on my new computer, but after installation when I go to open the program I get the "Licensing for this product has expired" message. I downloaded the TCS3Update.zip patch the website recommended to fix this, but when I try to run the patch I get a "Update not applicable" error message.

I'm on Windows 7.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg,

I am running standalone FM 10 (not TCS). I had to move the program from one PC to another (both ran Windows 7), and I encountered the same problem. FM10 had a bug that messed with the licensing about a year ago (?), so you need to patch it up to 10.0.2.419 before you can successfully start using it.

The patches for Windows are here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows

Remember: this info is just for standalone FM10. If you're running TCS, I'm sure someone with TCS can help you out (or you may need to contact support as Art suggests)

Good luck,

Smitty

Do you have TCS, or just stand-alone FM?

Did you de-activate the previous install and/or do you still have

activations left? If you didn't deactivate or don't have any activations

left, you'll need to call Adobe support and get them to reset things.

At that point, updates should work, because they only work for valid

installs... and you're not quite legal yet.
