I was on Scrivener 1.9.7.0 (with Windows 7 SP1).
I had not used Scrivener since November 2019. On starting Scrivener yesterday I had a message to perform a “Critical Upgrade” to 1.9.16.0 which I accepted.
On starting the updated Scrivener I was presented with a message (afraid I didn’t write it down - about can’t find licence server, I think) and Scrivener just froze with a white screen and circling cursor and “Not responding” in the window top bar.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my 1.9.7.0, with however exactly the same result. It was working in Nov 2019.
With some searching here I gather there has been a change in the way the licence server works and a possible need to update .NET framework. I was on .NET 4.6.1 so upgraded to the latest, 4.8. Unfortunately the same result, white window and Not responding.
Can anyone assist please? Thanks.
