Hi Juan,

Quote
(v.2.05 or v2.04)

What about having a nice bet that you thought to get 2.05 going, which I wouldn't even be able to myself. The other day I posted about this (rather in between the lines, somewhere - I think in response to something of Anthony), with my advice to not even attempt it. I can't really claim to be 100% sure (so I could lose that bet) but *if* you started out with copying the existing 2.05 from elsewhere, then I guarantee you that it won't work (forever !) unless you really know what to do. I forgot what I told Anthony, because / and at this moment I wouldn't even know how to myself.

Remedy :
Scratch all from XXHighEnd (that is the XX folder(s) and the XXData folder), download 2.04 (there is no newer) and obtain a code again. That will work ...

N.b.: If it doesn't work the first time (following the whole sequence) then you can just as well forget it (something must have gone wrong and I don't really mean in the program Wink). Personally I would try one time more, but after that I'd know enough; start all over.

Last thing : If you didn't really do strange things, then you can reset the install by means of rightclick on the Save As button in Settings (close to the top in there). Don't use that now because usually when one tried "a day" quite many strange things will have been applied. Thus for now : reinstall XXHighEnd (never the OS).

Best regards and good luck now !
Peter


PS: It is correct that you can't login to Tidal when XXHighEnd is not activated.

Thank you Peter, it took me two days playing around with 2.05. I think that I read a post where someone was working fine with 2.05 and I thought that it was the way to go. Anyway, now I could Activate XXHE v.2.04 and Tidal and is time to learn how to work with it. I have rarely been in such a bad mood regarding XXHE. Well, I hope it worth using Tidal.

Kind regards,
Juan

Juan, very very good !

Now that you have confidence, maybe Anthony likes to explain how he got 2.05 over from the RAM OS Disk (I am pretty sure he did that and thus managed).
And if he doesn't like, then it should be okay just the same. The only real difference regarding Tidal is better search facilities (less bugs would also be a description); possibly you are not bothered by that (yet).

Now have some fun !
Best regards,
Peter

Now that you have confidence, maybe Anthony likes to explain how he got 2.05 over from the RAM OS Disk (I am pretty sure he did that and thus managed).

I did link Juan to your instructions to do so earlier in the this thread.  Here they are...

Hi Anthony,

2.05 is not for the public. It is on your RAM-OS disk though ...

What you can do is zip the XX folder (only that is fine, but include its sub folders) from any of the OSes (take the one you have been using), and move that to your other PC like a normal "install". It will require activation as usual.
BUT to mimic the normal install, start XXHighEnd in that other PC and go to settings and the Save As button, close to the top. RIGHTclick that to reset all.
If you don't do that, the install will not be normal and we will be spending a dozen of posts to make it normal. I myself can't do it either (I try some times Happy).

Regards,
Peter

That is exactly what I did to get 2.05 working and it worked first time!

Cheers,

Anthony

Anthony Yes you are right, I got that link to Peter words but I made some mistakes. I used the same Activation code for 2.04 and v. 2.05 and/or I tried it too many times without success.

Now that I have v. 2.04 Activated (since the first time I tried it with a new code) I wonder if I could maintain it and try the v. 2.05 with that code or if I´d need a new code and follow again Peter instructions (from scratch, erasing XXData folder, etc.). Am I going to repeat the same errors?

Once I get v. 2.05 I could forget about v. 2.04 but I'm afraid to loose it before I get v. 2.05.


Kind regards,
Juan

Hi guys, I'm trying to install and activate XX on my music server. The problem I have is that I don't have a sound device in the server - nothing on the mobo and nothing plugged directly in. With other players I can use the remote connection sound device (e.g. when I connect to the music server from my office PC, I can stream music from the music to the office PC sound device with Roon, or whatever - but not with XX.)

So, how can I activate without a sound device?

Thinking about it, it would have taken me about as long to stick my Dragonfly into the server and just play a track than it has to write this post. I'm going to do that right now...

Mani, Search on Tidal ...

Possibly you are not the only one who "forgets" to do this ?
Start with RightClick on the Search button ...
