When I opened Website X5 Professional 15 tonight, there was an update, so I ran the update, but then it needed to be activated. I found my activation code from the original purchase and entered, I entered the correct email address & password and it showed that Activation was successful and to click on Start to run the updated version. When I click on Start, it brings up the Activation screen again and I cannot get into the program.

I have already tried restarting my computer, and this did not help
Hi!
Thank you for your message.
Please check if under C:\Users\ The Admin username \AppData\Local\Incomedia\ there is a folder called WebSite X5 - Professional and if the licence.iwl file is inside this folder. If this folder exists and the file is there, copy the folder and paste it under c:\Users\ Your Windows username \AppData\Local\Incomedia and then start the program.
Thanks! Kind regards.

Thanks for your help, however there is no licence file inside the WebSite X5 - Professional folder. There is one in the WebSite X5 v15 - Professional folder
Hi Carmel,
thank you for the screenshots! I noticed the path is C:\Users\ Carmel \AppData\Local\Incomedia\ WebSite X5 - Professional.
Can you find the licence.iwl here intead? C:\Users\ Admin \AppData\Local\Incomedia\ WebSite X5 - Professional
Thanks! Kind regards.

Hi,
Carmel is the Admin user. I have checked all the other user folders and there is no other one with an Incomedia folder.
See attached users screenshot.

Hi Elisa,
Just letting you know that I re-installed Version 16.3.1 and this is now working.
Thanks for your help.

Oh perfect Carmel!
Just in case it happened again, you need to completely uninstall the software, by deleting all related files, then install it again. In this way the licence.iwl file should be normally generated.
Thanks! Kind regards.
