Assignments tab missing sometimes in FSUPIC 7

[Fielder]

sometimes when running fsupic 7, I get the app window with assignments tab present (B) and sometimes I get the app with no assignments tab available (A). It seems to make no difference which program I open first: FSUIPC or MSFS 2020, one of the two versions of FSUIPC will present.

Not sure if I am starting FSUIPC exactly the same way every time, maybe that is the problem.

If there is no Assignments menu, then it is running in 'unregistered' mode. This means that it could not find the FSUIPC7.key file in the folder from where it was started. Are you starting FSUIPC7 from the same folder each time?
The next time you don't see the Assignments menu, try opening the installation folder (option available from the File menu) and see if the FSUIPC7.key file is there.

Thanks, yes I meant to reply earlier, that was the problem. Solved!
