Virtu Control Panel stuck in Trial Mode

Hi,
I’ve built a system based around an MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard, Intel Core i5-2500K processor and MSI GTX 570 TwinFrozR graphics card. Upon installing Windows 7 x64 Home Premium I installed all the appropriate drivers and the Virtu Control Panel. When I open the Virtu Control Panel it is always stuck in Trial/Evaluation mode so I can’t edit the OSD settings, Add a custom application, Edit an existing application or delete and application entry. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Virtu Control Panel and downloading the driver directly from the LucidLogix.com website, each time with the same result. I’ve also tried putting my motherboard in i-Mode and d-Mode, each time with no change (with the exception of the Application list changing in d-Mode) – I’ve also tried disabling and re-enabling Lucid Virtu support on the motherboard.
Also, there is a file called lucid.log on my C: drive containing the following:
TID:1852, 10/07/11, 10:54:00, LicenseData.cpp:184 - Warning code: 0
TID:1852, 10/07/11, 10:54:00, LicenseData.cpp:184 - Condition: ret, can't find SoftKey.txt in current dir (maybe it's ok and there is not SoftKey, will check bios)
Any ideas guys?
My complete system specification is as follows:
Motherboard: MSI Z68A-GD55-G3
Motherboard Driver: Intel Chipset Driver 9.2.0.1030
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Z68
Motherboard BIOS: 23.2
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
Memory Latency: 9-9-9-24
PSU: Antec TruePower New Modular 750W
Graphics: MSI GeForce GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR III Power Edition
Graphics Driver: NVIDIA 280.26 WHLQ
Sound Card: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music
Sound Driver: 2.18.0015
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Thanks,
Kona
Edit: I've just found this in the Virtu Control Panel install guide, do you think it can't find the Lucid BIOS Certificate on my motherboard? What could cause this?
- This version is a production version and will have no time or functional limitations if motherboard has the approved Lucid BIOS production certificate installed.
- If motherboard does not have Lucid BIOS certificate or a certificate is not approved for current software package, this version will stop working in 30 days after installation and also display the product logo of different sizes in different locations of the screen during runtime. Adding/editing arbitrary application to the support list will be disabled.
Edit 2: I've read the other threads of people with this issue, and by the looks of it I need to wait for MSI to release a BIOS update - to me this isn't acceptable to release a motherboard with a completely gimped feature, when it's advertised as a feature of the board. I've already submitted a support case, what do you think the likelyhood of MSI sorting this out within the next week?

Remove current Virtu Control Panel/Driver & software with "Your Uninstaller!":
http://www.ursoftware.com/download.php
[which removes any registry entries and files that can be left assotiated with corespond sofware]
when its done, reboot machine and then install the Virtu from msi web again:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/driver-17057.html
Hi Svet,
Thanks for your reply.
I've done as you requested (although I will point out that Your Uninstaller contains a Toolbar which is flagged as Spyware...) and uninstalled Virtu with Your Uninstaller:
And then I re-installed the version of Virtu Control Centre from your link (it's the same as I downloaded earlier but I re-downloaded it to be sure...), and exactly the same happens:
HU16E, I think your correct. Reading the other issues with the missing Certificate/License on the BIOS has plagued a few other MSI motherboards but has been fixed with BIOS updates - I've submitted a support request to MSI but haven't heard anything back yet. I can't beleive they can/would miss something like this out, it's an integral feature of the Z68 chipset!
I might see if the retailer I bought it from will accept it back for a refund, I'll either get an ASUS or the GD80, unless someone can suggest anything else or MSI come up with a BIOS update sharpish!

Virtu Control Panel issue with Z68A-GD80

Hello,
I am a reviewer for PC Labs (http://www.pclabs.com.tr) and I've been evaluating the Virtu software for some time now. I have the following problem:
This error shows up whenever I try to start Virtu. If I click Yes, it just pops up again, infinitely. If I press No, Virtu quits.
Yes, I read the Virtu installation guide section
Motherboard BIOS is the latest. I'd been trying the previous ones as well.
As stated in the manual; I first installed Intel HD Graphics 3000 drivers, then added the discrete VGA card, let Windows install the drivers, then installed Virtu
I also tried all possible combinations of driver installation with and without Windows Update - manually installed VGA driver from AMD, let Windows install HD Graphics 3000 driver, etc.
I tried multiple versions of Virtu; from MSI download site, from Virtu directly, etc.
Re-installed Windows and done the same, no luck
Here's the rig:
- MSI Z68A-GD80 motherboard with most recent BIOS update available at the date of this post.
- Intel Core i7-2600K processor
- Radeon HD 6870 discrete card
- 4 GB Kingston DDR3-2000 (also tried with Kingston HyperX DDR3-2133)
- Seagate ST3250410AS & Kingston 120 GB SSD
- Thermaltake Toughpower 875 W PSU
- Windows 7 64 bits with SP1
Any ideas?

Done.
Thanks for the extra hand, Jack.

Two related questions for clarification:
Which version do you have exactly?
---> http://eu.msi.com/service/search/?kw=Z68A-GD80%20&type=product
... B3 or G3?
Which version is that exactly? (Exact version ID)
The version will be different, depending on the motherboard variant you have.
In addition to that, there are always BETA and Final Releases. In case you are referring to the latest Final Release, an even never BETA Release might already be available which does not appear on the board's product site.
The board is a B3. 7672 Ver. 3.0 exactly. As for the driver & application versions:
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 was tested with drivers from MSI and also from Intel. At the time I started this topic, the installed driver was 12.22.1.64.2361 (8.15.10.2361).
- AMD drivers tested (with Radeon HD 6870) were 11.6, 11.7 and finally, 11.8.
- Virtu software versions tested were: First was from MSI (can't remember the version number right now), 1.2.105, 1.2.106 from LucidLogix
- Motherboard BIOSes tested were: Initial BIOS (2011-04-25 date), 17.1 (7672vH1 ROM, date 2011-05-30) and for the time being, 17.2 (7672vH2 ROM, date 2011-07-18).

In the Virtu Control Panel, 'About' Tab, does the Virtu version appear, or does it say Trial Version?
Added: After reading & following the MSI Software Application Guide v1.3, & using the Virtu drivers off the install disk that came with the mainboard, I had flawless performance using Virtu. My mainboard was shipped with the initial UEFI release (17.0 for a B3). The Lucid Virtu license key was enabled right from the beginning.
The Virtu Control Panel never shows up. When the system boots up and I login to Windows, the error message I mentioned is shown. Clicking "Yes" results in the same error; clicking No quits Virtu. The same happens when I manually start the Virtu Control Panel app.
MSI SW App. Guide and software from the install disk didn't work for me. :( I don't think it's the Virtu license key because Virtu is actually *active*. I do get the Virtu logo on 3DMark Vantage (and possibly other 3D apps registered to Virtu) and get discrete card class results from the benchmark in i-Mode. Besides, I believe Virtu software doesn't mean to say my license key is missing. Please see below.
You could make it, then I'd like to ask you a favor. There should be two files in a LucidLogix folder, located in your User directory:
Code: [Select]
{Your_Drive_Name}:\Users\{Your_UserName}\LucidLogix
The files are lucidloader.ini and userSettings.xml.
Could you post those two? As far as I could deduce, there shouldn't be any personal information in those files. Just general settings and application profiles. The error seems to stem from a disrepancy between these two files. The software seems to look for some "keys" from the XML file (where settins and app. profiles are stored as "keys" like <key>KeyName</key>. I'll attach my files a few minutes later. Check the userSettings file; around the end of the file, you'll see the word "general". My bet is on that one.
Of course, while I quoted HU16E, Jack and anyone else interested is welcome in this discussion.

Pages stuck in trial mode when opening file...

I purchased Pages through the app store after using it as a trial.
When I open Pages directly and then load a file everything works fine. However, if I open Pages by clicking on a file it opens in trial mode and I cannot save as it tells me it is expired.
I only see one reference to Pages under my applications and it works fine. If I change the program that opens files, there is only one listing for Pages and selecting it does not change the problem.
Does anyone know why when opening a file I get stuck in trial mode? Is there another instance of Pages installed somewhere?
I'm fairly new to Mac, so it's possible I overlooked something. Thanks.

Even experienced users miss this one. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Hide Control panel in full screen mode

Today I installed Quicktime Pro on an XP Pro platform (IBM Thinkpad) fully updated. I ran a quicktime ".mov" movie. I was unable to hide the control panel, despite selecting "hide after 2 seconds" in Edit\Preferences\Quicktime Player\. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime Pro. No change. No one at Apple can help me. This is for my mother's memorial service and I am very frustrated. Any ideas?

Perhaps I was not clear. The control panel is what I am calling the on screen panel that controls the Play, Stop, Pause, Reverse, Forward functions of Quicktime. That panel does not automatically hide when it is set in Edit/Preferences to hide after some period of time (seconds). Further, not all the hot keys function. I deinstalled and reinstalled. No remedy. Bottom line - no one at Apple could help and I am disappointed and hoping Apple will refund my money. My PC OS is fully updated.

Mac Creative Cloud Stuck in Trial Mode

Recently got a Team License from Academia and Installed Creative Cloud Complete on one of our Macs via the Admin Tools/Deployment Tools.
But since looking at the CC software all the products are listed as Try and once installed they are all in Trial Mode for 30 days.
Any way that we can get this to recognise that the account associate is registered with proper License?
Thank you.

Adobe Yosemite 10.10 Official Release *stuck in trial mode*

I suscribed to CC and I am stuck in trial mode

Hello,
A month ago I downloaded the trial version of Indesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and some other adobe software. When the trial came to its end, I decided to suscribe to Creative Cloud, and as I am a student I took the Student version.
I procceeded correctly, I even received a welcoming email from Adobe that said they received my payment. I logged into Creative Cloud, and I was surprised to see that now it says that I don't have any app on my computer (all my apps are still here). I went through all the FAQ, changed the language to English International, clicked on "Licence this software" and logged in with the account I have the subscription on, but it still doesn't work: the softwares keep asking me for a serial number.
I tried to download Indesign on Creative Cloud Manager, the software being already on my mac, it successfully downloaded but I don't see any change.
Any solution?
I'm using a Mac running under OS Maverick (10.9)

Photoshop is stuck in Trial Mode.

I bought Creative Cloud, but Photoshop has been acting like I downloaded the trial. I thought it would renew itself at the end of the month, but it hasn't. Now I can't use photoshop without buying it again. Please help.

Hello,
I have the same problem with Acrobat Pro. Initatially I had this with all product in the suite. The helpdesk guy discovered thaI I had downloaded the Dutch version of the Creative Suite and that caused the problem. After uninstalling the Dutch version and installing the English version everything was ok, with the exeption of Acrobat. Adobe Guys, this is something for you to solve! I want to use the product and do not want to work with trail versions.
Thanks,
Rene

Photoshop stuck in trial mode

Hi, I recently purchased a subscription to Photoshop and when I try to open the appication it promps me to sign up again. There is no 'help button' as your other tutorial suggests.

Are you seeing a dialog with buttons to Continue Trial or License This Software? If so click the License This Software button and sign in again with your Adobe ID if needed. You should not see this dialog again upon next launch.
If this does not work reply with the steps you did follow and what you are seeing now. Post a screen shot if that helps explain the issue.

Why is Lightroom app stuck in "Trial Mode"?

I recently purchased the Photography plan via Amazon, and the "trial version" ran out for Lr, and I cannot seem to get the full version on my CC account. I have tried signing out and back in, several restarts and uninstalls later it's still only "Trial Version". The subscription through Amazon is up-to-date, yet I cannot access my software. Anyone else with this problem?

If the CC has no billing issues,then refer to Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ
It has very important information.

Acrobat is stuck in Trial mode when utilizing Creative cloud.

Hi Jeff
Thanks for the reply but this didnt help - I use Photoshop and Illustrator all the time so have been launching theses apps numerous times since installing Acrobat.
I still get the trial popup in Acrobat though

I have branched this to a new discussion as this topic is not fully related to problems installing Adobe Creative applications from the Application manager and resolving those issues by removing the trial.
Do you have any other Adobe Creative applications installed besides those which are included with Creative Cloud? Did you participate in the beta or pre-release program? Which version of Mac OS exactly are you using?

Exception Error from the Quicktime control panel/Update

When I press the Update button under the Update tab, I get the following error:
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDD "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
Quicktime seems to run correctly and says I have version 7.4.1 installed, so I'm not really worried as I wind up having to manually install any updates anyways. Also, I have automatic updates disabled, I have removed the autoupdater from my startup (slowed down my windows loading), and since that Bonjour service is annoying and nonessential, I have turned it off as well.
If any of these are the reason for the error, I'm willing to live with it. Just thought I'd let you know about the update error.

+When I press the Update button under the Update tab, I get the following error:+
+An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDD "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"+
Do you have an nVidia video card in that PC, Drakaran? That seem to be the common factor for people with the Update tab crash with 7.3.1, 7.4 and (presumably) 7.4.1 (and also the crash when they try using "Help > Update Existing Software" instead of using the Update tab in the control panel).
One way around it (for some folks) is to go to the Advanced tab in their QuickTime control panel, and check "Safe mode (GDI only)". With that setting in place, OK out of the control panel, restart QuickTime and try another check for updates.

Windows server 2008 can't access control panel and can't choose "properties" under "my computer"

Hello everyone!
Today after a schedule restart on the night I thought everything was normal with my server. But When i go to "start -> control panel" it show me "empty". And if I try to lunch "change/remove software" via search window in
"start" then nothing happen.
I know also that I can't right click on "computer" and choose "properties" in the start-menu.
Also another problem. I did install Fbackup to make schedule file backups on the night. The software worked well to launch when I had installed it, but after the night, this morning it just crash on launch.
I can also tell that I did add from 4 CPU core to 6 CPU cores.

Hi,
Have you tried to see if the issue persists when you boot into Safe Mode? Since you it shows blank when accessing Control Panel, please check if the policy setting below has been
configured.
Please choose Start – Run - type (gpedit.msc) - click on (Administrative Templates) - (control Panel) -
Prohibit access to Control Panel and Show only specified Control Panel applets. If they were configured, please disable them to see if it could resolve the issue.
In addition, the issue may also be caused by the virus, please run a system scan to see if there is any virus. At this time, you can also launch Control Panel apps from the command
line, and here's a list of .cpl files for your reference that you can print out:
