Continuously asks for licence - RW support does not react to my issue

RapidWeaver Classic
1

I have reported the problem several times to Rapidweaver but the problem still continues and nothing has solved the problem:

RW continuously asks me for the licence. I have my RW 7 license and also installed Setapp. Tonight, when opening RW7 (not from Setapp), it asked me again for the license (more than once). It even started to move RW6 addons though I designed a special folder.

This is so annoying and RW support cannot solve the problems. It has been for months now. This is really really annoying, especially tonight after my site is screwed up.

Sorry for me being upset but this is not acceptable anymore

Hi George,

Sorry to learn the issue still persists for you!

This specific issue is rare and only affecting a handful of users - we haven’t been able to establish many commonalities. However, I will say that you didn’t mention that you were using SetApp in our support correspondence - I believe this is the missing detail we needed!

Did the issue happen before you started using SetApp?

Hi Aaron,

no, the problem was not there before at all. And what is strange now, I have this error on the page after the many crashes:

https://minsobi.ch/index.php?catalog/all/-/date/1 https://minsobi.ch/index.php?catalog/all/-/date/1

on the bottom of the page it shows the sitemap. I have removed sitemap plus, etc. but on the preview of the sandwich, it still exists. I have no pluskit import that would import the sitemap. After tonight, the site is really screwed up.

regards,
George

it totally hangs and I can only force quit:

Hi Aaron,

as a result, sitemap has been screwed up. I could figure out the footer issue (not the license issue!!!) with loghound/yourhead. I will republish the site but will you report the issue to loghound/yourhead? I cannot open sitemap plus anymore, RW will totally hang. that is pretty serious. I had uncountable freezes. And my computer is surely not a slow one.

regards,
George

Interesting phenomenon:

I removed the footer in RW section and what a miracle: I can open sitemap plus again.





regards,
George

I have the same issue with Rapidweaver 7 asking for my license every time I start up the app. This only started happening with RW7. When I initially got the message I thought perhaps it was something specific to my MacOS install, so I completely wiped and reinstalled the OS. However, even when I reinstalled the OS and then did a clean install of Rapidweaver 7 I still get the same issue. This happens every time I start RW7. Are there any fixes for this?

Support may tell you that “you are an exceptional and rare case”. I raised the issue for months and it is very annoying with this issue. I have had lots of communication with support but nothing happened

9

Yeah, this first happened when I moved to RW7 (from RW6) many months ago. I went back and forth with support for weeks and with no resolution finally gave up. It’s really annoying to me so I’m trying again

meanwhile, they made 2 upgrades but nothing mentioned about our issue 
 nice

To those that are suffering with this issue:

So far, we can’t reproduce this. It’s MOST likely not a Rapidweaver issue but we’re still hunting. If you EVER installed Setapp (even as demo) this could be the issue and you need to use their removal tool (https://macpaw.zendesk.com/attachments/token/aESoYvT2Qnu0NrVD9rZN1bZAE/?name=RemoveSetapp.app.zip) and restart your computer.

And, just in case there’s some new people looking, please make sure you’re not using LittleSnitch or any other similar “firewall” blocking apps when trying to register.

Here’s what I tried last week:

  • Completely deleted the Rapidweaver.app
  • Deleted the entire com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver container located in my user Library
  • Emptied the trash
  • Downloaded Rapidweaver 7 from the website again
  • Installed Rapidweaver 7
  • Started up Rapidweaver, when prompted to activate I entered my license info. Received message confirming activation was successful
  • Quit Rapidweaver
  • Launched Rapidweaver
  • Upon relaunch of Rapidweaver I got the Activation prompt again

So, even after a fresh install of Rapidweaver the issue persists for me. Attached are the logs that I found in the container.

Just in case you missed one step (that wasn’t listed) that might’ve helped.

After deleting everything Rapidweaver and emptying the trash (make sure to search for old versions in both your apps folder and in your user apps folder), RESTART YOUR COMPUTER before downloading and trying again.

Ok. Added two additional steps this morning:

  • Completely deleted the Rapidweaver.app
  • Deleted the entire com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver container located in my user Library and all other references to Rapidweaver on my hard drive
  • Emptied the trash
    _ Disabled MacOS firewall and disconnected from my work VPN connection_*
    _ Restarted MacOS into Safe Mode_*
  • Downloaded Rapidweaver 7 from the website again
  • Installed Rapidweaver 7
  • Started up Rapidweaver, when prompted to activate I entered my license info. Received message confirming activation was successful
  • Quit Rapidweaver
  • Launched Rapidweaver
  • Upon relaunch of Rapidweaver I got the Activation prompt again

Here’s the latest log entry:

2017-04-04 07:18:57.864 RapidWeaver 7[672:31942] ==============================================================

So, even after completely removing all traces of Rapidweaver, disabling firewalls/VPN, full restart in safe mode the issue still persists. Can someone please escalate this to developers? Are there other logs in Rapidweaver that could provide some clues to the issue? Could I get a new license to try? I really need to get this resolved.

I replied to your support email. Please let me know if that works.

Thanks Brian. The new license key and using a different email address seemed to work. Perhaps it was in issue with the way the license key was initially generated back when RW7 first came out?

Thanks again for helping me get this resolved.
