Hi all,
Thanks to logik, we have found the cause of this. The problem is a bug in the way license files are stored. It will be fixed in the next release, but for now there is an easy workaround.
This problem happens when a license key gets wrapped into more than one line in the email process. That key is entered into the license window, which accepts it, but then saves it as it was entered, with the extra carriage returns in the line.
To fix the problem, use notebook to edit the license files, which are located in c:/Program Files/Games for Loving/Bliss. They are called Bliss.Board.lic and Bliss.ActionEditor.lic
When you open them in notebook, you should see something like
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
(where X represents digits or letters)
The problem happens if you see
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
X-XXXX-XXXX
When the license key is split across two lines, it is not accepted by the game. Just remove the extra carriage return in Notepad and resave the file and the problem should go away.
Thanks,
Don
