    You have to have the license file that is specific to the FB3 serial #. You can't use anyone else's license file to get yours running as far as I know.

    Send an email to Bill using the contact form on our website; he may be in the office and be able to help you today. I might even call the office after the email if you are hurting to have it running today. Otherwise copy me on it and I can try to make sure he gets to it tomorrow. Aaron (at) pangolin (dot) com.

    Its a .bmp file extension and should be in the root of your QS install folder.
    IF you open it in a picture viewer it'll be a Pangolin logo with the serial number it is valid for. The details QS uses are encrypted within the image file.

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Now that I look I don't have a license file for QS... What program are you trying to run? QS or BEYOND? Nwo that I think about it the LD Suite and BEYOND are the only ones that I think look for a license. Like I said, hit Bill up, his statement to me on Friday was that he is "always available". I am an LD user and am only now playing with QS and BEYOND on both the QM and FB3. Anything I say is an "I think"; Bill knows.

    A license file is only necessary in QS if you're running it as a demo.

    Simply connect your FB3 to your PC with the full QS programme and it recognises it as the licence and will remember it after disconnection.

    Have you tried re-installing?

    Also, is the Fb3 showing green when connected and yellow when QS is started?

    Hey Shawn -

    Make sure you're running the same version of the software as you have on your primary computer.
    A mismatch between the FB3 firmware and your apps. could be a contributing factor...
