synbios1978 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I feel really stupid for asking this, but I started with 8.2 with my premium membership, and I got the email 9.0 was out. I'm normally prompted to upgrade when I open the app, but I wasn't for 9, so I went to the site and downloaded 9 manually. Installed it, and now I have 8.9 fully configured and licensed and 9.0 unlicensed with no emulators or anything inside of it. Just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong as it took a solid1-2 weeks to get everything conifgured and downloaded and I really don't want to go through all of that again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 You will still be prompted to update as long as your license is still valid for updates. Alternatively you can do what you did, but make sure to install directly over the top of your current install. The fact that the new one is empty leads me to believe you didnt install to the correct place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synbios1978 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 You may be right in regards to the install folder. I just did the next, next, next method and let it go to the default. But my upgrades are good through 9/22/19. Is there a delay in 9.0 for the upgrade to be prompted? I didn't know if it was still in a pre-public release or if I should be getting it now. Thanks for your quick response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your quick response! 9.0 is the official release and has been out for over a week, so you should be prompted. My advice, go to tools/options/updates make sure updates is checked and uncheck background downloads, OK it and close and reopen Launchbox you should be prompted at launch to update. You can also choose to turn on betas here, but thats your choice and as they are betas, you can expect to come across issues and bugs if you choose to update to them.

OK cool, a lot of people make that mistake, they have that box checked and dont get a immediate prompt, thats because background download will only prompt you to install when it is downloaded, which in my case always seems to be slow here in the UK, it can often take 5 minutes or more to download a update, so it may seem like it is not doing anything.
