    License Key Conflict

    Hi,

    I have a problem connecting to my game. I want to run two instances on one computer one as a GM and one as a player. I have done this in the past with no problems.
    I get a SUCCESS message when I test my connection.

    I have started one instance as the GM.
    I select join game on the second instance, but when I input the external address to join, I get an immediate license Key conflict.

    I original had a full license.
    Then I upgraded to the ultimate subscription – and received a new license.
    But I have since reverted to my old full license because I did not require the ultimate license anymore.

    I believe that the full license (the one I currently have) allows one player to connect to the GM?

    The internal address just gives me a connection error even though port 1802 is open.

    Please advise.

    Use localhost to connect, not the IP address.

    How do I use local host - not sure I have that option?
    On Join Game I have Username and Host Address.

    Instead of typing in the IP, type "localhost", without the quotes.

    On the second instance use "localhost" as the IP instead of numbers.

    It gets worse the older you get.

    That answered my question at well, and the answer was given before I asked the question!
