Growling, biting, howling and moaning

[TimF]

Where can I post to sound off as in growling, biting, pissing and moaning. I am unhappy with J River and will never never use them again. So they send you a registration code with 25 to 30 characters half of which are i's or l's, or zeros or o's and the font they use doesn't distinguish the characters. And then every other week they require you to reload and enter your code. I should ride my bicycle down to downtown Minneapolis where they are located and punch someone in the nose. I think I will.

ahem.

To respond to your question... well... umm, here will do, I s'pose.
Is this like a hurt locker kind of thing?

I use MC33 and haven't had the issue, I copy and paste the code and then it's done. This is on Win11. But I see myself using it less and less given the fact most of my computer listening is Spotify now.

And then every other week they require you to reload and enter your code.

I am not questioning your anguish but, if this it happening, the installation is faulty or, in my experience, incomplete.

Yah, I’ve never had to enter the code more than once. Files can get corrupted, might try uninstalling and installing again.
Even though I stream, I still use JRiver for bass EQ. Things would be pretty rough without it. If you make sure WDM driver is installed in JRiver, you can have your browser or app output to JRiver, then set JRiver to output to your audio hardware device. Full control!

Does sound annoying... I assume you have;

Checked license status, i.e. logged into your JRiver account (on their website) to confirm the status of your license or subscription.

Sometimes re-entering your code or reinstalling the software can sort it.

Have you contacted support, JRiver has a support forum/team that can help troubleshoot license issues.

But for those long secure type passwords, use a password manager like Bitwarden;

Clicked on this hoping to read something about Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf. He growled, howled and moaned like no other.

As for biting, I prefer not to know.

Alas, just another bitching thread. We've all done 'em.

Hang in there, dude.

I've been using J. River since version 11. I only have to enter my code when I upgrade to prove I'm a previous owner. I'd back up the library, rip out the installation (maybe down to the registry level) and do a fresh install. I've haunted their forums and this issue has never been broached in my experience.

I suffered this some years back when I, for no comprehensible reason, made a screen icon for the install package and, thinking it was just loading the program, was irked by the necessity to register each time I started it up. I can't believe I did that but............................

Thank God I don't have to enter a 30-digit code to place one of the CDs I own into the CD player I own.

Okay, let's not pick on and target one company. In these subscription software services you give them money which they take and they give you a 30 character unique product registration code to activate or legitimatize your downloaded software. However, what if they give you a 30 character product code that has nondistinct, unfiled or ambiguous characters? You see the problem? The user has to run through all the possible code combinations when there are ambiguous characters. When you cannot determine if a character is a 1 or an I (letter i capitalized), or whether a character is a numeric zero or an alphabetic letter o creates an impossible situation for the user. How many times will you try to enter various possible registration codes that are denied time after time. I know that the software did not properly get situated onto my computer but each time I tried to reload I would have to enter my product code which was repeatedly refused.

 

[rdenney]

Did they give you the code electronically? Assuming their software isn't allowing you to cut and paste it directly into the relevant activation field in the startup dialog, cut and paste it into Notepad and give it a font that distinguishes those characters. Then print it out.

If it's a printed code (does that even happen any more?) then I got nothing.

They are remarkably incompetent with respect to sales and service. I regret buying the product and have not bought any upgrades.

They send it in an email.

 

[Keith_W]

I don't get it? Why can't you just cut and paste? That's what I do, and it works no problem.

(When I saw the thread title I thought you were talking about your wife!)

 

[kyuu]

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, it's easy

But more helpfully, hopefully, if you've tried basic troubleshooting like uninstalling/reinstalling without success, I would engage with JRiver's support channel to figure out what the problem is as that's obviously not normal or intended behavior. Assuming JRiver has such...

 

[MaxwellsEq]

I've had a problem when sent a piece of paper with a printed code where they've used capital 0s and Is as well as lower case ls, zeros and ones.

But electronically, it's simply not a problem: I paste it into a password manager or into a word processor and change fonts so that the differences become obvious (useful for standalone physical devices where you have to enter a key).

If people like Sony had gotten away with their rootkit idiocy unchecked, by now you would have to be inputting your DNA, each time you played one. Yes I'm still annoyed by that.

On that note.

Once, when riding my bike, a van overtook me, cut across me and blocked my path on purpose. He was a very angry gammon who claimed I was riding 'too far out in the road'.

Amidst his rantings, and my genuine bemusement, he then asked if I... 'wanted to go live!'

By now I was even more bemused, lol, but it seems he was having a Ronnie Pickering moment and then eventually drove off as he was blocking traffic behind. We did not 'go live' at any point
