Unable to Change Drive Selection in Automation License Manager v6.0

Question:

I am attempting to install a Siemens upgrade license through Automation License Manager v6.0. By mistake, I selected the D: drive and now I am unable to return to the drive selection page. Despite trying various options like clicking on different buttons, navigating through menus, and restarting both the software and the PC, the issue persists. The software now automatically defaults to the D: drive where no licenses are located. I require assistance in locating the back button to rectify this issue.

Thank you so much for your brilliant feedback!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Automation License Manager? Before you do that, make sure to backup all your licenses just to be on the safe side. When you reinstall it, you should be able to select your drive again. If this doesn't work, I would suggest reaching out to Siemens technical support - they might have additional solutions, or they could guide you through a more detailed troubleshooting process.

I've experienced a similar issue with the Siemens Automation License Manager before. It can be tough, there seems to be no straightforward way to change the selected drive after you've made a selection. However, I found a workaround. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the software entirely. During the reinstallation process, it should prompt you to select your drive. Remember to back up any important data or licenses beforehand.

Hey there, I've stumbled across a similar issue before. It might be that the software has updated a configuration file, which is why it keeps defaulting to the D: drive. Try to find a setting or configuration file linked to the Automation License Manager, usually located in its installation folder. Within this file, you might be able to manually change the default directory back to the drive of your choice. Remember to create a back-up of the file before you make any changes and let us know how it goes!
