Hello,

I was running DS 2017 (free) with the critical hotfix applied on Windows 7 just fine until today.  I tried to launch it today and I was prompted again to activate it.  Once I filled the form out, the activation failed and the activation window returned.  I decided to download the latest and install it.  Once I did, I again was prompted to activate.  After the activation window I was prompted to migrate my settings and then it seemed as though DS opened briefly and crashed. 

I decided to uninstall and reinstall fresh, which I did.  I'm still prompted to activate and then DS flashes and goes away.

How can I get DS to run again?
