drmark12pa Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I too would like to know "the way around this" .... I'm reading this thread saying this only works for 30 days. Also, how many dealers are going to be willing to install ComposerPRO on your system? That's IF you can get them to even come over... I'm still waiting for 2 weeks for an install on something else.... I wish I could perform my work like this... I'll show up "sometime".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think certs last around 30 days max. If C4 is incapable of properly licensing stuff, they should remove it completely. With this workaround a dealer would have had to come out and install ComposerPro about 18 times and counting.All this in the name of stopping 1% from adding a light switch on their own. Good job C4!

JV Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Unfortunately, I haven't been involved in it enough to know.RyanEThe problem is no one at C4 is involved in it. That's why a bug like this stays around for well over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah, I don't know what to tell you but I've been going now for about 2.5 months and no "expiration". It's not like you are using CPro- it is removed two minutes after it is loaded. If you act shady to your dealer I could see him getting apprehensive about doing this. Just tell him some dick on c4forums said it was the right thing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The problem is no one at C4 is involved in it. That's why a bug like this stays around for well over a year.No, the problem is all a matter of priorities. It's in the defect list, it's being tracked like a thousand other issues, hardware, software, drivers, 3rd-party gear, etc.Unfortunately, as has been stated many times here, the small uptake on HE causes issues with it to not be as high a priority as something that affects a larger number of users.I certainly agree it's a big issue, especially for people in this forum. It was a stupid mistake, probably should have been fixed before now, but it happened at the worst time (with much larger priorities).Sorry.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Although Control4 does not typically pre-announce features in upcoming releases, I will say that I have it on good authority that the "Project Locked" defect in HE is actually fixed in 2.2.I can't say the release date of 2.2, I don't know if it's set yet, but it's in a limited external beta right now.Again, I apologize for it taking as long as it has, I agree, it is a bit of an embarrassment.RyanEP.S. I haven't verified it myself, but others have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Good enough. And yes, sooner or later we get use to the fact that we won't get advanced notice of street dates on releases. Once this is fixed I bet you nobody will look back and say anything derrogatory- it will too good to gain-back the flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Has this issue and the work around been communicated to the C4 dealers well enough? Is there someone at C4 that we can quote or have a dealer contact regarding this issue? When I talk to my dealer I'd like to be ready to answer his questions and objections to the "work around"...

thecodeman Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've heard from other posts here this is fixed in 2.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have also heard this, and specifically asked the PM over Software, who confirmed it.I have not tested it myself, but the PM confirmed it had been installed on machines that had previously never had ComposerPro on them, so it sounds fixed to me.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 ^cdepaola, you are not alone but be patient. This forum is for users so no, it doesn't faze me that a dealer wouldn't know about any workaround. Also, notice how the talk is about a FIX, not a workaround. When you hear that 2.2 is on the street (keep reading this forum) then you can bug your dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 We don't announce release dates for things until they're pretty close.I will say that 2.2 is currently in beta with a select set of Control4 dealers and employees.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks RyanE, your input is always appreciated and I look forward to the release of 2.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettB0727 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I heard it was fixed in the beta ;-) (after all it was suppose to be fixed in other releases as well)But hears to hoping that this will finally be taken care of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This is exactly why I asked the PM if it had been *actually fully tested*.I have somewhat higher confidence that it's actually fixed in 2.2.Sorry about that.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffatwork Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just upgraded to 2.2 and still "project locked". What a joke! I'm not buying anymore equipment until this is resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You system *and* ComposerHE have both been upgraded to 2.2?Also, you may still actually have the project locked indication if your project didn't fully finish the upgrade.In that case, this would not be a defect, but it would be correctly reporting project locked.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffatwork Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Both Director and Composer have been upgraded. Can anyone confirm 2.2 allows HE to add variables and Agents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 2.2 is good for me but if it isn't for you need to dig deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeGuy4 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have Composer Pro 2.4 and still have the problem. It's the same version as the director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
