Hello Wojciech
Thanks for taking the time to report this here.
We have heard of one similar case so we are very keen to identify the cause and find a fix. Most people are able to Activate, so the problem is definitely not with our server (where activations are registered and your account details updated).
Please could you confirm:
The make and model of your computer running Windows 10
Whether this is a new installation of Goalscape Desktop on that machine, or an update of a previous version – if it is an update please confirm the previous version number (if available),
Most installation and activation problems are due to an issue with the local AIR environment. I understand that you have the latest AIR, nevertheless please could you try the following:
Quit Goalscape
Uninstall Goalscape
Uninstall Adobe AIR
Go to our Download page and follow the steps to reinstall Adobe AIR first, then download and run the GoalscapeDesktop.air installer file.
Again, try the Try button, then Quit, Restart and try to Activate.
Thanks for your patience and cooperation here: with your help we will fix this very quickly!

Hi Wojciech
Sorry you are still having trouble.
I just noticed that your last successful activation used up the last available permission on your account, so that may have been causing the problem here (although of course you should have seen a more relevant error message).
I have now given you an extra permission so please try the activation again and let us know if it works for you now. Your answer here will be very helpful!

on 2nd computer I can't activate also

Hi Wojciech
Thanks for the additional information.
All your activations are registering here, so again you have reached your limit. Please do not attempt another activation until we post here with news – at that point we will also give you more permissions on your account.
All the best
Richard

Hi Wojciech
We are going to reset your password to temp001 to run some tests here. If you are signed out of Goalscape Connect you will still be able to sign in (using that password) while we do our tests.

Hi Wojciech
Some more information, please. It would be really useful if you could send us the logfiles for the Goalscape Desktop session that included a failed Activation attempt. If your latest session was using the Try button, Exit the application and restart, then at the Welcome screen try your username with the password temp001. If that does not work, send us the logfiles before you start another session.
The logfiles are 3 text files called error-log.txt, goalscape-log.txt and messaging-log.txt.
There is a slight problem here because Windows environments do not have a definite location for the logfiles, so I am not sure of their exact location on your hard drive. And you cannot use the Explorer Search to find them! So please start looking for the Goalscape Desktop logfiles (under Local Store/Logging) in the following location:
[user_home]\Application Data[application_id]\Local Store\logging
Where [application_id] is something like
com.goalscape.app.GoalscapeDesktop.7AC31F0C6B613204057EF6C630FDA9AC3AF1DB7F.1.
If they are not there, have a look around some other locations: sometimes the relevant 'com.goalscape.app.GoalscapeDesktop.[guid] directory is under 'AppData/Adobe' or 'AppData/Adobe/AIR'. They may even be under some SharedObjects folder. They may not even be in your user account, but stashed under the 'Admin' or 'Guest User' userIDs!
Thanks for all your help so far: if you can find and send us the logfiles it will be tremendously useful.
Best
Richard

Hi Wojciech,
Please do these steps and tell us the results at steps 5, 6 and 7.
Thank you.

Hi Emmett,
thanx for the info.
I followed 1-6 with no success.
As for now - when I click "activate" - the mini clock icon is running and ... nothing happens
I tried on Chrome browser & Microsoft Edge.

Hi Wojciech,
In step 3, does the page load without error in each web browsers?
In step 4, does each browser say our HTTPS certificate is valid? Should be fine, but must be sure.
In step 5 what is the error? This is the big question/answer!
Will you get a chance to try 7? eg. try on a laptop using a different Internet connection. Not a solution but it could provide a valid clue. Eg. works if not using your firewall.

as for now:
3) attachment
4) attachment
5) now, it's mini clock icon running with no action
7) I'll try to use phone connection today

Hi Wojciech,
Excellent answers! Thanks.
OK so now I understand ... the web browser test gives no error at all. That's what I needed to know.
I failed to explain to you that I never expected the web browser activation (step 5) to activate your instance of Goalscape Desktop. The web browser thing was only to check connectivity.
So now it is obvious that The Goalscape Desktop app cannot communicate.
Please try to get those log files which Richard describes above.
Sorry for the problem! We are using some new mechanism for activating, and obviously it is not yet reliable.

Hi Wojciech,
That's great that we seemed to have made some progress.
Please tell us more about this Error# 3001? Was that a once-only error? On app open before you activated? Or during some app update stage?
Thanks
Emmett

Hi Wojciech
One more question: we understand that you previously had the activation error on 2 machines: a) an update from version 2.7.6 and b) a fresh install.
Please could you confirm whether you have been able to activate the Preview version on both machines or just one. If it is only working on one machine, let us know which one is still showing the error - and confirm whether it is the same 'abnormal error' message you saw before.

Richard

@Emmett,
it was once-only error - on 1 computer.
when I updated GS in 2nd one - there was no window with this error.
I could not activate on 2nd machine - but I think it is working - just have no more activations left on my account (got this message in GS window).
Support Staff 21 Posted by Richard Parslow on 06 Dec, 2015 01:55 PM
Hi Wojciech
Sorry about that: the issue was that all your failed activations were registering here! I have given you some extra permissions on your account, so please try activating the software on your second machine.
Then please post here to confirm whether the activation worked for you on:
a) an update from version 2.7.6
or
b) a fresh install
or BOTH.
Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation here – when we have issues it is good to have a friendly, knowledgeable user to help us fix them!
