Dynamic output greyed out

[anleva]

For some reason I can no longer choose "Dynamic" as an output location. Only "Original Folder" and "Folder". It is greyed out as an option. How do I get it back?

Check dBpoweramp Configuration (see "Need to find your version?" below) to make sure your Reference status is still in trial or registered.

Re: Dynamic output greyed out

I installed 12.3 over 12.2 per instructions. Here is what it says:

dBpoweramp Music Converter
Release 12.3
Registration Status
mp License & Power Pack:Registered
All Media Guide: 334 Days Access Remaining

To the right of registration status there is [Register]

So it says I am registered, yet there is a [Register] button so I have no clue what my status is. Help!

Re: Dynamic output greyed out

Your status shows that you have the registered PowerPack, NOT the registered Reference, which you need to use dynamic naming. To keep registered status of Reference, you have to install a new registered version, NOT just the normal trial install.

Also, do you mean these registered instructions: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=12483 ?

Re: Dynamic output greyed out

I purchased dBpoweramp reference at 12.2. Everything was working fine, including dynamic naming. I had a registered version of reference.

I used the "check for updates" button on dBpoweramp Configuration and it told me a new version, 12.3 was available so I installed it over 12.2. I have no idea what went wrong as I did what I thought I was supposed to do. Now I have no idea how to correct the situation.

Install your registered software from this link:

Re: Dynamic output greyed out

It sounds like you installed the normal dMC install over-top of your registered Reference install, which dropped you down to "PowerPack" registered status, which is why "Dynamic Naming" is greyed out. Download a new Reference registered install and install it over your current version.

Re: Dynamic output greyed out

Thanks Spoon and LtData, I installed the reference software from the link you provided and now everything is back to normal. Now a process question.

Should I not use "check for updates" in dBpoweramp configuration? This was the method that alerted me that 12.3 was available and directed me to a web page where I then downloaded 12.3 (which must have been the trial version, not the registered reference install). Was the registered reference install elsewhere on that web page? Did I miss it?

What is the process then I should use to check for and download updates to dBpoweramp reference if not the "check for updates" button?

Thanks!

Re: Dynamic output greyed out

The check for updates can be used to tell there is an update, I will modify r12.4 to point to registration retrieval if registered.
