Not authorized.

OK ive tried reading all the posts about compiling for multiple computers, but I cant get it to work. What I did was:
Deleted MQ2Auth0 from both computers. Copied MQ2Auth.exe onto a floppy and ran it on computer B, then computer A. After running it on computer A I copied the MQ2Auth0 into my MQ2Main directory, and then I compiled and put MQ2 on both computers. When I run MQ2 on computer B, the computer I compiled from, MQ2 will run fine. But, when I try and open MQ2 from computer A, it says that the computer does not have authoriation blah blah. What am I doing wrong in this process? Thanks for the help in advance.

Make sure that Auth0 has 4 lines in it if you are trying to compile for two computers. If not then you didn't get the auth from both PCs. Possible that if you ran the Auth from the C: drive instead of the floppy drive then the auth made a new unique file and saved it on the hard drive instead of the floppy.

First off, dont delete mq2auth0.h, theres no reason to do so. Secondly, you actually have to run mq2auth on both machines. From what you said, you only ran it on once.

Please, read the stuff here: http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4291

theres 59856894389573598743 different ways of explaining it, and even a copy of my file i use to compile for 8 different machines.

If you are having problems just run it twice ( One on each PC ) open the first MQ2Auth0 file and copy all text, then open second MQ2Auth0 file and past contents from first into it UNDER the text already there.

oh btw LAX this is not the VIP section, Please enable LaxColor when in NON VIP sections :)

ok they put descriptions up of this process that are just way to complicated for what it is. basically you run mq2auth.exe on a computer and it puts a code into your mq2auth.h so the dll will recognize that you compiled it. all you need to do is run the exe on each computer you want mq2 on and open up the .h file and copy paste the code back into the .h file on the computer thats going to compile it. then when the compiled release pops out it will have all of the computers codes in it.


now that i look at that it doesnt seem too simple but maybe itll help.

I personally compile it on PC-A zip the release with MQ2Auth added to it, send it to PC-B, unzip, run MQ2Auth after it's all unzipped in my MQ2 directory and voila. It works.

This is completely wrong.

The only reason it works for you is that you actually took the right steps at one point in time. Running MQ2Auth on PC-B generates MQ2Auth0.h which is completely ignored by the binaries. You can skip the MQ2Auth step on PC-B and stop spreading false information.

And you only need to authorize each computer once, not every time you re-compile MQ2.
