Error when moving license

[complete1]

I have two computers, one for work, one for home. I use MarkDownPad Pro on both, but not at the same time. I have a single license.

I have been moving the license from one installation to the other when needed. I do this by removing the license from the first installation and then adding the license back to the other installation. Today, it won't let me add the license back onto the other computer.

I now get this error:
Error Processing License
An error occurred while processing the license key. Please verify the license information and try again, or visit... etc.
The type initializer for 'OpenSSL.Core.Native' threw an exception.

I've tried a couple of times and the license and email address appear to be correct. When I go to add the license back to the first computer, it works - so this may be related to my PC somehow.

I've searched for "license" in the forum search, but the few items that come up do not seem to be relevant to this issue.

Thanks for any help.

I'm having this problem too. Trying to re-enter my license after a Windows 10 Insider build wiped it out. I get the same TypeInitializationException on OpenSSL.Core.Native.

I've tried running MarkdownPad as administrator just in case that was the issue, but no, that didn't help.

This is obviously a pretty catastrophic situation. The built-in bug reporter is not working either. I've reported this via the online bug reporter.

Having grown tired of the "radio silence" from MarkdownPad support, I have been moved to examine alternatives. For what it's worth, Visual Studio Code (VS Code) offers a very decent Markdown implementation that does everything MarkdownPad does and more.

• Syntax colouring
• Split screen preview in the editor
• Live full screen preview in a browser window
• Linting and style checking via the 'markdownlint' plugin.
• Free
• Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).

The only negative is that it doesn't really expose settings for the different flavours of Markdown, so I'm not entirely sure what implementation it is using.

Thanks for your information @timlong

Like you, I have not received any responses around this. My issue is also with a Windows 10 PC.

The response time was a lot quicker when I was handing over my money for the license. It's too bad the support response time is so poor.
