Error: No FSUIPC entry to check (code 16)

[dutchkip]

Hi Pete,

Sorry to bother you with this, but am trying to install new version of FSUIPC5 v 5.12 and when I select check existing registration I get above error message.

I have a registration key which was purchased when FSUIPC5 came out.

Any help appreciated.

Why are you checking it?  Are you unsure of your registration?

Most folks just use the "Not now" option when not entering a new Registration.

But I'll check ... maybe it's just a bug which has never been discovered because no one uses that option.

No, it is fine here. The log shows:

Checking FSUIPC registration ...
Registration check for FSUIPC5 was successful! (result code 00)

Looking ay your log, the result code simply means "No FSUIPC entry to check",  which in turn means there was no FSUIPC entry giving the Key in your FSUIPC5.Key file. Did you delete it before installing 5.12? You never need to delete anything when updating FSUIPC.

BTW 5.12 is replaced by 5.121 now -- please update. There were a couple of quite serious issues with 5.12.

Got it working now.

I tried with key separated into 3  4 digit blocks which still gave me code.

I kept on trying and now finally passed.

and no, I did not delete anything as I know it's just a write over installation.

Thanks Pete.

Sorry, Where are you entering a key? The "check" merely reads the KEY file and checks that it 's a valid registration.

spoken too soon.

Now not showing FSUIPC in add-on tab.

Tried removing and installing several times but still not showing.

DLL.XML

Found your  zip file 5121a and moved dll file into odules folder and now FSUIPC shows up in add-ons tab.

Thanks and regards

5.121a is released with a full install in any case. It is the current release.

You never mentioned anything about FSUIPC "not showing", which is a completely unrelated matter to your described Install error on checking your registration. FSUIPC does not have to be registered to have it installed and showing in the Add-Ons menu.

So, the thread is confused and I still don't understand what this was about. I did ask what you meant by

I asked:  "Sorry, Where are you entering a key? The "check" merely reads the KEY file and checks that it 's a valid registration."   So what were you doing? Why run a check in any case? And if the key was not being generated, how was it Registered cotrrectly now,  just by replacing the DLL? Or is it?

I'm afraid nothing in this thread makes any sense to me. :-(
