Hello, i wrote a application with Xojo 2016, for what i have a license. I use this application until now, i need to change the application, but i can’t anymore activate Xojo to build again.
Every time when i import the license file, i get an unexpected error, no way to activate anymore.
My problem is i cannot use a new Xojo, because i need to much work to get i running with the new one. Anyone a idea what i can do, to solve this?
Thanks
You need to contact Xojo at hello@xojo.com
in 2021 there is a menu help/licence keys with a update button.
check here if they are not in use at other pc.

I did allready, the IDE has a Problem, both on Windows and Mac, also with fresh install.
2016 is 8 years old. Yes, it is to be expected that a lot of code needs to be changed. The 2016 version probably doesn’t even do 64 bit apps let alone Apple Silicon ones.
Worryingly, it may be Xojo changed the authentication process.
If so, that doesn’t bode well… the software shouldn’t expire.
I’d query whether it was a Windows 7/10 issue,
but because I still have 2016 running inside a Parallels VM on an M3 Mac, AND you are trying the Mac version too, that seems unlikely.
Have you had a formal response from Xojo yet? They do have a call-and-response method of licencing that doesnt rely on the servers, as I recall.
I guess Xojo probably maintain some emergency activation process for releases from a large number of the past years, like the last 10 for example.
As Alberto said:
They may solve the problem. The other and much better way is upgrading the code and using a newer version because any pre-2019 version has lots of limitations or terrible bugs.

True.
And it neednt be a difficult task. No need to go API2 with it, either.
Usually its just a case of switching when drawing occurs , as you cannot access the graphics of a canvas outside the paint event any more.
Can you try running it on an older OS? I am running a version of macOS 10.14 inside a VM so that I can use a really old version of Xojo (2011R3) to build a special tool that I need (single file 32 bit Windows EXE).
The user interface has a lot of self made controls, i made them from Alex Restrepo Listbox, but they are quitting the app without error. Anyone use them also now? The example from Alex after pressing a item quits also the app. A lot of work…
Xojo until now dont give any answer…
Does the app have a crash or an exception? Remove the code until the exception goes away. At that time painting was all over the place. The paint code needs to be in the paint event. Another thing to check is threads vs UI.
Thanks! I solved all, now is all working in Xojo2024.
How i can bring on Linux a window topmost?
All windows of the same type ?
Window1.Show ?
If different types (Dialog, Modal, etc…) ?
Have-you read there:
https://documentation.xojo.com/api/deprecated/window_method.html#notes
I mean a splash screen, what is staying in front of the other window (Linux…)
In that case, why do you have other windows if this is to hide them.
Yes, Hide them. Or Better, Close them.
