LR6 (perpetual licence) Hanging problem
LR6 (perpetual licence) Hanging problem - I will recap the problem and in doing so also provide some new info. I note that none of the other reports on this problem are inconsistent with what I describe below.
I upgraded from LR5.7 to LR6 and then ran it up and did some Library and Develop work and exited opting to backup catalogue - all good. (I thought I might have exited more than once without backing up but I'm not sure).
In the process of initial instal / running up I inadvertantly selected to activate a 30 day trial of CC Mobile (and there was a message on the top left hand corner of the LR6 screen saying I had 30 days of trial left).
The NEXT DAY when I went to run up LR6 it presented me with a "Server Busy" dialog box on the splash screen (when I tried to capture this with the snip tool, it disappeared when I clicked on the Windows start menu) - (so I took a photo of it today when I managed to replicate the problem see below, and then snipped it from Windows Live gallery - its attached as well - sorry the attachments are all over the place.)
After that, irespective of reboots and restarts, LR6 startup did not get quite as far, but it still got to a splash screen (without "Server Busy" dialog box, or some population of side panels). I provide a screen shot above.
Then Jim Wilde (many thanks) suggested I log out and back into Adobe.com - I did and I got the spash screen with the "Server Busy" dialog box and some side panels as well on the splash screen - so this (signing out /back in) did make a slight difference to how far the splash screen stuff went. However this only worked once, then i was back to the screen shot screen on subsequent reboots/restarts irrespective of logging out / in.
Then today is a new day, I logged out/in, ran up LR6 and got back to the "server busy" dialog box amd splash screen (once only -but enough to get the photo which I snipped). Repeated attempts and I'm back to the splash screen above.
Tomorrow (it seems you only get one go per day) when I sign out/in, and I run up LR6 and get the "server busy dialog" box I will select the option "switch to" and see what happens.
Gurus - Does any of this new info help??
