On MacOS whenever I reboot I get the following error screen and Duplicacy will not start:
Duplicacy Error: The license code ****** is associated with host MacBook-Pro
All I get is an ‘Ok’ button and nothing happens.
Your host name changed after the reboot. You can run hostname in Terminal to print the new host name, and then change the hostname on your customer page by clicking the MacBook-Pro link.
You’ll also need to run the command defaults delete com.acrosync.mac.duplicacy Signature in Terminal to force Duplicacy to download a new license that matches your new host name.
I think I narrowed down the issue. If I reboot at home where the hostname is MacBook-Pro.home.local it works. If I reboot at work where the hostname is MacBook-Pro.work.local it does not work. It seems to care about the full FQDN hostname which will change as you move between different networks…
No, it is a case-sensitivity issue. We don’t take the domain part for the host name, so in both cases it would be MacBook-Pro. But, it appears that one is all lower case while the other is not, therefore Duplicacy thought it is a different host.
I’ll fix that in version 2.0.7, but if you can find a way to change the case then you don’t need to wait for the new version.
Ok. Thanks for the update!
