Does not Validate trial edition 3.1

[sdimitrov]

Downloaded EOS version 3.1 for trial. Validation box appears but does not validate license key provided.  Cannot move further than this box. All information is entered correctly.  Suggestions?

What is the exact error message you get?

Please do NOT post your key here in the forum, i just need the error message.

Regards,

Thanks for getting back to me.  Apologies for jumping the gun but i read on a bit further and realized that I'm missing the next few lines of the activation key.  I only have the first line.

The latest version of BYE is 3.2.2. I may be incorrect, but I thought that the single-line Trial license key will only work with this release.

I am curious why you are starting out trying to use an old release of BYE. BYE 3.1.18 is over 2 years old and is missing all the fixes, enhancements, and support for new cameras that are in 3.2.2.

thank you.  3.2.2 is now up and running

Glad you got it working.  Trial keys typically work with the latest release only.  3.2.2 made the difference.

next question.  I am still running version 3.2.2 but it does not recognize my camera (EOS 40D).  EOS utility not running.  camera powered on.  Full battery.  Using DSUSB from our pals at Shoestring Astronomy, where shutter control was checked using DSUSB check and is working. Are there any further advanced settings that need to be checked?

Are you using two cables between the camera and the PC? The DSUSB cable is for shutter control and the regular USB cable is for everything else (changing settings, image download, initiating Tv exposures).

You don't need the DSUSB cable with the 40D, it is capable of BULB over USB.  

You only need the camera supplied USB cable.
