I then uninstall en remove Pervasive ver 10, AND then re-install version 9.6. Using Pervasive ver 10, which grants a temp license, I can get into Pastel, BUT, then trying to re-register everything, I get stuck at a point where Pastel complains that Pervasive is not the correct version that WAS registered, And I need to use the older version(9.6).

I do not understand why Pervasive have a problem with my upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10.ĮVERYthing, Pastel-wise works perfectly, but somehow pervasive does not seem to license itself when I re-install it from the original Pastel CD/DVD.Īll I get are 1 month temp licenses each time - and I am sure each time that it will be the last time I can get it working.ĭoes any body have any idea how to return to the previous license situation with Pervasive?Īlternatively I will have to do a Virtual windows 7 setup- I still have the original windows 7 disk backed up - but I am sure there has to be a more permanent solution to get it working properly on windows 10.ġ. I tried to explain that the problem was with the pervasive license and not my 'car', but he could not hear me over spending his commission on my R2500 in his head.Īnyway. I contacted Sage, where a very uncouth operator explained to me that my car was to old, and the engine needed upgrading and the problem was with windows, not with Pastel, but that Pastel will solve my problem for an upgrade to ver 14 from the current V12. I have gone through this process 3 or 4 times now, including again today.Įventually, using the guilcadm.exe tool thingy, I saw that the pervasive licenses are temporary licenses, expiring after a month. I have re-installed version 9.6, as well as ver 10, several times in the months since then.Įach time, eventually, Pastel starts working again, but the next month, when I cook the books again, the Code 20 error would be back.

Upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10, after self-study(read googling) indicated Pastel should work OK.įrom scratch Pastel gave the Code 20 error, indicating problem with Pervasive License.
