Have to jump on board with this one... completely uninstalled Studio along with the installer. Got to the point of updating/submitting license, but it fails every time. Even went to yoyogames.com/my_licences to recover license ...... nothing works. Please advise if I need to go back to an earlier version than 1.1.666 ?

Would appreciate a fix.

Here's an odd problem. I just ordered the GM: Studio special offer (professional + web) and installed GM: S, but it doesn't ask for my license key when I start the program. I have no idea how to activate professional.

I have 8.1 Pro installed, but I don't want to delete or replace it. Is that a problem?

Did you already have a Lite license??? Just go to Help -> Update License and type in the new license.

That did it, thanks.

EDIT: I was using the free version, so this may count as a bug.

I just bought GM: Studio and I was wondering, am able to use it on a computer without an active internet connection? I tried connecting it to the internet briefly and registering GM: Studio, but when I disconnected it wanted me to register it again. Do I need to be connected at all times for it to work?

Just wondering, has anyone else had problems with the latest update (version 1.1.754)? I finally got round to updating to updating it today and found that it gave me a weird error on start up - something about an invalid xml document. It then went into what looked like an empty project in GameMaker:HTML5 (which is strange as I have Studio with iOS, Android and HTML5 modules). The UI graphics seemed to be all messed up with a lot of black text on dark grey.

Anyway, I ended up reinstalling GM Studio and am back to version 1.1.533. I don't dare try updating again in case it corrupts any of my projects...

Can yo yutry to check the .project.gmx file to see if the "number" parameters for the included files is correct?

When I got this problem, it was somehow errant and fixing it made the project be loadable again.

Hi! I'm new to Gamemaker, I just downloaded the free version and updated from the stable channel,
but when I got it installed and activated it asked me to enter a license.
I didn't find a license anywhere, would anyone tell me where I can find it?
Thank you very much.

[Lazdude17]

I cant find this elsewhere so, can make a game with the free license for android and then purchase when I want to publish?

[Lazdude17]

@Myzer you have to buy a license from yoyo and if you did not then you should see a button on the bottom that says "Use Free Version" or something to that effect

What if you bought it on Steam? How do you get a licence number then?

Could someone help me? whenever I run the GMS it asks to insert my key, what's wrong?

 

[EDIT] Solved, System Date Wrong.

GMS asks for a license every time I start it and no matter if I enter my master license or try to use the free edition I get a message box with this message "Download Error : The system cannot find the file specified" followed by the "Unable to obtain a valid license, please check the License Key and retry!". I reinstalled the latest 1.1.872 and an older version 1.1.827, still getting the same behavior. I cannot use GMS at all, any ideas?

 

Update: things just started working again after a few hours, weird.

Can YYG please allow GM Studio license keys to activate GM 8.1 Windows, or else provide free separate keys for GM 8.1 Windows to those who already have GM Studio licenses?

 

It doesn't make sense that the GM Studio license key would activate GM 8.1 Mac but not Windows. It also doesn't make sense to have to make a separate purchase to use a version that is very close to GM Studio but with fewer features!

It keeps denying my payment. I tried both of my debit cards and now I ran out of attempts, what's the deal?

 

Payment not accepted : Payment refused by the financial institution
Please use the "Back" button to try again with other parameters
