Re-Authorization Issue

[rj.gray]

On the latest version, every time I open it I'm forced to re-enter my serial number. Is this normal? Also even if I enter both my Sampletank MAX and Editor serials the white noise burst for the trial version never goes away. I saw in other posts that Support says they won't provide help authorizing it and we should discuss it in the forums - has anyone figured out a way to get this to authorize without the help of Support?

Jason from Support got back to me and helped me fix the problem.

Here are the steps for macOS, edited a little from what he told me because that's what worked for me. Jason said I could post these in the forum:

Open Finder >

click GO >

Hold down your Option key and you will see Library appear >

click this >

Then open Preferences >

Scroll to and delete the "com.ikmultimedia.sampletank editor.plist" file in that folder >

Scroll to and delete "com.ikmultimedia.SampleTank Instrument Editor.plist" in that folder >

Leave that folder open, you will go back there soon >

Re-open SampleTank Editor >

Go through the authorization steps when prompted and paste your serial >

In the Users/Library/Preferences folder find "com.ikmultimedia.sampletank editor.plist" >

Rename it SampleTank Instrument Editor >

Reopen the program.

It shouldn't mention the 10 day grace period and authorization anymore.

Does anyone have a Windows solution for this problem? I get a popup that my grace period has ended when I launch Sampletank Editor. There is another thread with exactly this behavior, but unfortunately there is no documented solution I could find.
