Hi Bob.

I had that happen today, too, with my Audiophile installation. I have contacted PG Music and I'm now awaiting an answer. I'll let you know the outcome.

Asa temporary work around, it is possible to start RB if you turn off automatic time sync'ing and set the date back to January 1, 2024.

Regards,
--Noel

Bob,

If you are running Windows 11...

1) Right click on the clock (lower right of screen)

2) Select "Adjust date and time".

3) Turn off "Set time automatically".

4) Once you've disabled "Set time automatically", "Set date and time manually" appears and there is a "Change" button to the right of that.

Regards,
--Noel

Livechat don't recommend this fix as they say you shouldn't play around with Windows settings but its easy to try and easy to restore the correcrt date when you finish using RB but as they say............its up to you

i have no idea how long the fix will take but they say they are 'actively' working on it and PG are good cutomer foussed company

I haven't used BIAB and Realband for awhile but I just upgraded from 2015 to 2024.
I'm getting this same expiration issue message and the RB shuts down.
I downloaded the free patch and place it in the RB folder,
but it did not correct the expiration issue message and Realband is still shutting down.
I assume I've missed a vital step or two getting this downloaded patch to activate.
Anyone have a clue what I might be doing wrong ?

It sounds like you may have downloaded the file but didn't run the executable. Download the patch to your desktop or download folder, then click on the realband_2024_udate_build3.exe file to install it.
