Hi, and SURE! this is the issue, as written in the FAQ you cannot mix 32Bit SLIMax Mgr Pro app with 64Bit Windows.

So I strongly suggest to do a clean install of SLIMax Manager Pro using the installer on website, run it as admin to prevent any permission issue and everything will be ok.
A french support forum is also available for your convenience ;)

this is simple as install the SLIMax Manager Pro and that's it!

All issue is always related to:
Windows Permissions (UAC must unset or install and run SLIMax Mgr Pro as ADMINISTRATOR)
Network Permissions (antivirus/firewall must allow SLIMax Mgr Pro to run and connect to the net to get license and updates)

your license as I said is valid and online so SLIMax Manager Pro should find it at startup and install it automatically as written in faq and in video tuto

Install As administrator or not?

did you have the license key in c:\SLIMax Manager\licenses\ directory

if yes do you have the device name on setup menu?

did you select the test device menu to test your device?

when you change the Basic or Advanced setting is it permanent or need to set each time you run the software?

why did you run the SLIMax Mgr 32bit as you have a 64Bit windows!!?.??

in Registration Information panel, do you have the device recognized and with a (+) which means the license is recgnized and installed correctly

etc.

@why did you run the SLIMax Mgr 32bit as you have a 64Bit windows!!?.??@


I discovered the problem after reading this

... i was using the shortcut i had on my windows desk..It was probably the old one (i was thinking it was a new shortcut created by the new installation ) and was pointing on slimaxmgr.exe instead of slimaxmgr64.exe


now everthing work

thx alot
