View Full Version : Problem with setup including serials compiled on different PCs

Hello Friedrich,

we have the following problem with a setup that includes serial numbers:

The script was created on PC1. If it is compiled on this PC everything works fine.
But when I compile the script on PC2 and start the setup, none of the serials is accepted.

On both PCs the setup builder V 7.2.2978.0 is installed.
Is the list of serial numbers to use stored somewhere on PC1 and has to be copied to PC2, or why does the setup compiled on PC2 not accept the serials?

Thank you for an answer.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom,

This can only happen if you have different serial numbers (different licenses) for SetupBuilder itself and you did not use the same license to compile the setup.exe (or even used a trial version on the second PC)

Each and every SetupBuilder license generates a unique set of serial numbers even if the "Unique Serial Number Generation ID" is the same in your project.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Our binaries and the setup script are located on a server, so that both PCs can access it. They use the same "Unique Serial Number Generation ID" because it is stored in the setup script.
So each time the setup is compiled, the serials are generated due to the different SetupBuilder licenses.

On both workstations we use different SetupBuilder licenses, of course.
At the moment the setup always has to be compiled with the SetupBuilder located on PC1 !!?
Is there a way to fix this "problem"?

Tom,

If you have two licenses with two unique serial numbers, then you can use the same serial number on both PC1 and PC2 (because you have two valid licenses)! There is no need to use the (two) different serial numbers on PC1 and PC2 ;)

Does this help?

Hello Friedrich,

thatĀ“s an excellent suggestion!:)

Is there an easy way to change SetupBuilderĀ“s license (for example copying a license file or re-enter serial number) or do I have to re-install SetupBuilder on PC2?

I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall SetupBuilder on PC2. There are different places (folders and registry) where the serial number and subscription key (and some configuration settings) are stored.
