MAC: Changing Paths after reinstall

[bytegetter]

Hi,

My old company macbook was brocken, so they gave me a new one. I installed a backup and changed the user name.

After starting securecrt (latest official) it announced that it can not write the .lic-file into the (old) path.

The path is´t configured in the usual config files.

It deleted securecrt and reinstalled it, but it keeps writing in the old, not existet, path.


How can I change the mainpath?

Hi bytegetter,

Check what the output is from this command:

defaults read com.vandyke.SecureCRT | grep SecureCRT

If the config path listed differs from the config path you believe the installation was configured to use, starting with a clean configuration folder path should fix the issue.

Here's how:

defaults delete com.vandyke.SecureCRT "Config Path"

If you run that command at a local prompt (via terminal) then start SecureCRT, what happens?

Hi,

Marcs-MBP15:~ marc$ defaults read com.vandyke.SecureCRT | grep SecureCRT
"Config Path" = "/Users/xxx 1/Dropbox/MAC/SecureCRT/Config";

This was the right path, but starting SecureCRT did not work, because SecureCRT wants to the old path with "xxx" without 1 (from the backup).

After
defaults delete com.vandyke.SecureCRT "Config Path"
I can start SecureCRT and I changed the path in the global section to the old one (copy paste from defaults), now SecureCRT works for me with the cold config and licence.

Best regards,
Marc
