How to resolve the pop-up: Licence not found

If on opening the software, you receive the pop-up No licence found, the most common cause is that your licence is out of date for the version of Flood Modeller you are trying to open.

If receiving this pop-up, first confirm you are opening the version of Flood Modeller that matches your licence, as per the note above. If you are unsure which licence you have, or would like to update to Flood Modeller v6.0 or later, please contact support@floodmodeller.com.

If you have confirmed you are using the a version 6 licence, and still receive this pop-up when trying to access v6.0 or later, your licence may need updating. This process is required annually, or whenever you purchase additional products. To update your licence, please contact us at support@floodmodeller.com.

If the above does not resolve the issue, the following suggestions may help.
