Fenderman. I'm somewhat new to IpCamTalk. Is there a PM feature available?
yes on the top right there is an envelope iconFenderman. I'm somewhat new to IpCamTalk. Is there a PM feature available?
In the interim open the windows registry and go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris and delete the registration folder. Then restart BI. You will have 15 days of eval.So does anyone know what do I need to do to get it going, I've tried to put in my key in and now I am down completely, I see this screen

this worked, thank you so muchIn the interim open the windows registry and go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris and delete the registration folder. Then restart BI. You will have 15 days of eval.
Can you please let us know how you do this? thanksI always run a utility that backs up the entire BI registry for things like this and since I test new releases. It has been a VERY useful tool

Did the very same thing Yesterday and am in eval mode . Ugh! Any idea how long it cans tay in eval mode ? Used an existing old license but it now shows expired on Feb xx 2023 ! Need to purchase a license but unable to get to the site . Was worried the site may be a fake but glad its confirmed !Yeah - and I picked today to move the server VM to a new box and needing to re-activate. Got so frustrated that I even bought a new license that I don't need thinking that may be a shortcut to a solution - well it was certainly a shortcut to being $63.00 poorer.
Thanks BP. Don't know how I missed this. It should be a sticky in the Tools Section.GitHub - bp2008/biupdatehelper: A Windows service which helps manage Blue Iris updates

There's some good information in the FB group. Jennifer, who does support, has been posting about getting around the key expiry issue. It hasn't been working for all, though.I have been loosely following all of this, but at the same time my machine has not been affected and is working as normal.
Should I expect it to give up at some point, or am I not seeing any issues because I have automatic updates turned off?
BiUpdateHelper only backs up Blue Iris registry settings (stuff you configure in Blue Iris's GUI). If you configure something via CPAI's web interface, it will not be in the Blue Iris registry backup. Your saved alerts are also not backed up as those are not stored in the registry.Thanks BP. Don't know how I missed this. It should be a sticky in the Tools Section.
A couple of questions, how is CPAI affected when re-installing an earlier registry? Does it back CPAI entries up to? Does it back CPAI up at the date of backing up BI?
