    Why am I getting this when launching Build Box? I've purchased this software yesterday and have yet to get it working. No answers from support yet. I have to disable virus protection just to make it launch but it still fails. Very frustrating for $2675. Any ideas?

    I was having this issue and got around it by trying to open an existing project and as fast as possible get to the serial number area.

    What's interesting is I have not had the serial number area popup but I'm guessing it's failing before it gets to that part. On the laptop it installed just fine once I figured out I needed to disable virus protection, which is ridiculous. No other piece of software do I need to disable virus protection to work. I'm really trying to be patient I know it's only been a day or two but with the many problems that I was blindsided by and the fact that after I got to demo the software on the laptop I'm just not sure that it's capable of doing what I need. Still exploring until I hear back from support. I haven't even figured out how to pop a balloon with a finger touch yet or move apples into a basket so surely build box can do these simple gestures.

    Hey DaddyMagic, this issue was resolved for me. It appears that you'd need to reach out to support and have them "reset your license key" and it will authenticate. Just fyi in case you decided to give this another try.

    I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, and tried to reinstall Buildbox 2.3 on my new OS. Software installed successfully but after putting in authentication code, it said “Authentication failed.” I have uninstalled it multiple times, then tried to reinstall, and it won’t even ask for authentication code any longer, it just says “authentication failed.” I tried to install other software such as Soundbox and Voxelbox, and they too fail to authenticate. If help desk resets it, how do I use license key when Buildbox won't even let me put it in again after reinstalling it?

    Email support. I would also check that your VPN is turned off in Windows 10.

    Once support resets the license key, it will automatically authenticate so you won't need to reenter it. The next time you launch the application it will show a successful login.

    Thanks for advice! Still waiting to hear from Buildbox support, was about 12 hours ago I sent the request for help, and still no response nor even acknowledgement of help request. Do they typically take a long time or days before responding?

    Hey @Kbr954, we usually get back to you within 24 hours on support questions. We usually do not take long at all to get back to you. I'm looking into this right now and I'll try resetting your key

    Zack beat me to it but yeah lol. 24 hours and they handle tickets in the order they are received. Even though your issue maybe a simple reset, if there's 8 tickets ahead of you that require more time to resolve then it can take up to the max 24 hours.

    Zack: I was wondering, why does this have to be reset after my going to Windows 10 if I already own or paid for the BB software? Another question: I've noticed now and before I can't connect to BB when I have my VPN up. Why is that the case?

    Oh okay, if you're using a VPN, then that actually might have something to do with why your license needed to be reset. So, typically VPNs change you ip/mac address frequently. That triggers our protection on the license after a single machine occupies too many slots and then it locks you out. So that's when we need to reset your license for it to work again typically. We did this to prevent fraud using a single license. The rule of thumb here usually is no VPNs or similar software in conjunction with BB.

    Does that answer your question?

    Zack, that answers the question, thanks very much. Lesson for me, which I will apply from now on, is don't use VPN when using BB.
