This Version Of SKS8 Has Expired

WT#?

Tuesday, December 31, 2013 by RedneckDude | Discussion: SkinStudio

Help!

Skin Studio 8 is kaput!!!

 

I used it earlier today, now I get the following error!

 

I know of other users who say they get the same thing.

 

Tried reinstalling both SKS and WB, to no avail.

 

Please help as skinning is nil until it's fixed.

I have to ask, since there is no trial version, why is there even a time-out coded into it?

I'd answer that question Wiz, but it would probably get me demoted.

 

This probably will not be fixed for at least a week, as they shut down Stardock for 2 weeks over the holidays.

Yeah, got the message 20 min. ago. Uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times.

I don't believe this is a trial problem as everyones has expired at the same time.

If it helps anyone till this gets resolved. I got rid of SS8 as you all have also done or tried. I installed version 730 enhanced and it works fine. At least I can still use it now.

I was told it wasn't compatible with WB 8.

For now, I have installed SKS 7 Pro on a Vista VM.

Had to install Photoshop as well, but what the hey.

-Obviously there´s something in the code Neil just forgot to fix/change before release, it will probably be fixed asap.

I must apologise for that. 

Double checking all timeouts are removed after the betas is supposed to be done during QA testing to ensure this doesn't happen, but apparently that did not do happen in this case.

There will be an update out ASAP to sort this.  Most people are back on Thursday so I have high hopes it will be done by then.

For now you can either set your date back before launching SKS, or SKS7 will work just fine on Win8.  No need to install it on 7 or Vista.
