I just happened to be installing Composer on my desktop, so I was running a clean machine through the full process...

Had troubles getting 3.1.3 to run, kept getting the 'License not active' error and deletion of .p12.

Did several uninstalls and reinstalls, re-running of 2.5.3 to get .p12, edited config file for LicenseURL check, nothing seemed to work.

Went back to 3.1.0, did meekah, and got reconnected. Did reinstall/update to 3.1.3, and it autoruns which causes the license error. Still digging some more...

Edit: Meekah on 3.1.3 results in Composer not running. No error messages, just immediate close.

Edit 2: My controller is still on 3.1.0, so I've never been beyond that. I can confirm I was able to update Composer to 3.1.2 572507. I was watching the ComposerPro.exe.config file as the install happened, and reset LicensingURL and DealerAccountLocatorURL to false while it was installing. 3.1.2 launched without issue, and I'm able to connect to my 3.1.0 controller.

Edit 3: Yup. Tried to do 3.1.3 update after a successful 3.1.2 and re-entered the <Web> properties before launch, and got the license error trip. Looks like a lot of other things in the config changed. Going to go back to 3.1.2 and compare the differences.

Hey all.

Anyone have a link for the 3.1.3 pro?

Am on 3.10 and am going to try and go to 3.13. Guessing I can skip 3.1.1 &3.12 if I follow the steps for changing passwords etc?

Hey brians2803, I did a quick compare of the file you have attached vs the 2 changes (dealer and license check = false) we do on the other file and it has a lot of items removed. One item removed was the drivers web location. Are you still able to access and add new drivers from the online database within Composer? It would be best if we could see exactly what needs to change in the file so that we can keep track of the specific config changes. Do you think all the modifications are needed in your config or do you think we could get it down to a couple of items? I'm not sure the full impact. Thanks for the info.

You may want to use the Composer Update function. The one we usually turn off so that it doesn't automatically check for updates. πŸ˜‰
