Need to enter MenuMachine 1 serial and activate every time GoLive launches (MM1)

Article ID: 000030

Category: Serial Number Issues

Issue

Required to enter MenuMachine 1 serial number and activate every time GoLive launches.

Solution

This is usually caused by corrupt GoLive preferences.

To delete the GoLive Preference files:

1. Quit all copies of GoLive;

THEN

2. Windows:

Locate these files:

Adobe GoLive 6.prf (GoLive 6); and/or
Adobe GoLive 7.prf (GoLive CS) and/or
Adobe GoLive 8.prf (GoLive CS2)

and delete all files if you have them.

On Windows XP, this will usually be

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe GoLive\Adobe GoLive X.prf

The folder "Application Data" might be hidden, in which case you may need to turn on the viewing of invisible folders in:

Tools > Folder Options > View in Windows Explorer

THEN

When you re-launch GoLive you will have to enter the MenuMachine serial number again.

Once GoLive has launched, you must quit GoLive to ensure the preferences are saved.

The next time you launch GoLive you should not be asked for the MenuMachine serial number.

OR

2. Macintosh (Mac OS X):

Open the folder

Users > Your user name > Library > Preferences

You should then delete the file(s):

Adobe GoLive 6 prefs (GoLive 6); and/or
Adobe GoLive 7 prefs (GoLive CS) and/or
Adobe GoLive 8 prefs (GoLive CS2)

OR

2. Macintosh (Mac OS 9):

Locate and delete the file:

System Folder :: Preferences :: Adobe GoLive 6

THEN

3. Launch GoLive.

When you re-launch GoLive you will have to enter the MenuMachine serial number again.

4. Quit GoLive.

Once GoLive has launched and you have successfully activated MenuMachine 1, you must quit GoLive before working on any sites to ensure the preferences are saved.

5. Re-launch GoLive.

Now whenever you launch GoLive you should not be asked for the MenuMachine serial number.
