hi all, I am having troubles with my mma student version. Every so often, it determines that my password has expired and forces me to get a new one from Wolfram. I now have a nice little stack of mma license certificates sitting on my desk, and it looks like the stack will keep growing - tonite I tried to start up mma and it did it to me again. The last time I tried to use mma was a month ago, and I had the same problems then as well. Can somebody tell me what is happening here? I cringe in fear of the nite when I really need to get some work done for the next day and I encounter this problem. Does anybody know how the math kernel decides when to get a new password? Does it use c:\windows\siteinit.m? my setup is: 486/66 52 Mb memory Windows NT 3.51 service pack 1 mma is installed on drive d:\win32app\wnmath22; d: is an NTFS partition. NOTHING in the mma installation dir has been compressed the last thing I did to the mma directory was I edited sysinit.m. I restored the version of sysinit.m before the changes, but that did not help either. Wolfram says that mma decides it needs a new password when it determines that the hardware has "changed". I have not changed my hardware at all, but I might have installed some new programs on the d: drive recently. Could this have done the damage? I would really, greatly appreciate any assistance, suggestions that you can provide. Thanks Vince ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
