When did it happen that I can't use a version of BIAB that I purchased on both my desktop and my laptop? I used to be able to do that. Now it says I can't do that.
When did that happen? I mean, my main use is on my desktop, but I want to be able to take my laptop and use BIAB to show others what we're working on. To not have it available like it used to be and to have to buy a whole another copy of it is something I can't do.
What happened?

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Gary You can install BiaB and RB onto three different computers as long as you use one at a time. Maybe you have run out of activations? If so deactivate one or two computers then try activating your computer(s). That information is under the help menu. If that doesn't work contact PGMusic.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Mario answered it. To my knowledge, it has been this way with three activations for quite a few years.

It is three activations, and I only had the one on my desktop. SOmething about the C:/User/Ticket folder, according to the error message, I deleted that and it worked.
I've been spending too much time on Covid-19 related e-mail support, my brain has turned to oatmeal.

Bob, I'd just start a chat and ask them to do it .. (deactivation)
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Incase anyone has this problem again: There is a very specific error message that comes up when you need to delete your tickets like Gary mentioned above. When you go to Help | Activate and do an online activate, if you get an error message that includes the following in the error message "... program cannot be activated. Reason is: you can only use this program on one computer", that's a know activation loop bug that requires the deletion of the ticket files. This is why we will often ask people for the full, exact wording of the error message because a sentence here or a sentence there difference and it can be a totally different issue. If this happens, you can follow the instructions below: 1. Close Band-in-a-Box. 2. Install the latest update for your version from here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support.htm3. Delete ALL the .ticket and .bin files from: C:\Users\Public\Ticket. ONLY files with .ticket or .bin as the file extension. 4. Run Band-in-a-Box and (re) activate. ** If you are prompted with a message asking whether you would like to restore the license, say 'no'. Once open, go to Help | Activate Band-in-a-Box and re-enter your serial number if needed.
Cheers, Ember

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
