I don't understand why the licence is still being lost on upgrade. Is there not something in the log that says "Get isolated storage" or "Licensing"? It's the few lines after that I need. I'll also look at why diagnostics mode is being lost after upgrade.

On a second PC I allowed muso to update, with the same result.
After the update logging had been disabled, the Machine ID was retained, but the license was blank.
I reactivated logging, and have emailed the log file to you.

I think I fixed the issue with the diagnostics mode being persisted through an update, which should (on the NEXT update after this one!) allow you to capture a new log for me which might reveal the issue with the licence key being lost - it still has me puzzled why it's doing that while retaining machine ID. Let me know when this version (2.5.25.4) is installed, turn on diagnostics and close, then I'll push another update to you to test it.

Have now updated to V2.5.25.4 - I have turned on diagnostic logging and reapplied the license.
I have emailed the log file to you.

Jeremy, I am enclosing a log file. I kept the diagnostics going. After updating to 2.5.25.4 the issue of the licence being lost with an upgrade reappeared.

I haven't attempted a fix for that yet, this patch was to (hopefully) persist diagnostic logging across an upgrade so we can capture what's happening when it DOES lose the licence.

I've replicated your issue on a Windows 10 VM that I have, so that's promising, I'm no nearer to finding an answer though - I'll look more tomorrow.

Although still no mention of this version in the forum news, Muso just finished upgrading to 2.5.26. I had to reenter my licence details as with the previous version.

Yeah sorry about that. Just released 2.5.27 which should hopefully fix this issue once and for all. You may have to enter your licence credentials one last time after upgrading to 2.5.27, but after that it should persist across updates.
