Time Change Bit Me

[PatriotsBiker]

Well, make it that lack of a time change. It did not change. iLok didn't like it one bit when I tried to change the time manually without being connected to the internet.

Things seemed to spiral down from there.....

I take it I am the only one? Is this because I was total power-off when the clocks got tolled back due to power supply/cleaner being in a power off state? The MOBO battery need replacing? I suppose I should dig deeper online... still curious if others here had that little battle going on.

Not sure, but it may be because of not being connected to the internet.
My system will boot with the wrong time sometimes (for whatever reason) and whenever I change it to the right time and try to start PT, I get an iLok message that the clock needs to be repaired. It does something in the background, fixes itself and I'm good to go after that. The only thing I can think of that's different is that I'm connected to the net.

The system clock(set in BIOS) and the clock in Windows need to match, so changing the battery is not a bad idea. while they USUALLY last 5 years, on 2 of my X79 builds(with the same ASUS motherboard), they only last a year

This fixed itself as soon as I connected to the internet. Not surprising when I think it through. How many people would fudge dates and times to keep perpetual demo versions....

That makes total sense. I will look in to this. Thx.
