Question:
InstallShield keeps asking for Activation Code even after activating AdminStudio 2021 R2 or AdminStudio 2021 R2 SP1.
Answer:
There are two workarounds which will resolve the issue:
- Upgrade to the latest version of AdminStudio 2022 and activate the product with the same code as that of AdminStudio 2021 R2/AdminStudio 2021 R2 SP1.
- Download and install the setup for InstallShield 27.0. Launching the InstallShield 27.0 should work without any issues.
Note: Please raise a new support ticket to get the setup for InstallShield 27.0
Thanks,
