Latest Update.
Retried updating Win10 from 1709 to 1809 but this time I deactivated Edius 8 WG first and then reactivated once Win 10 updates completed. Pleased to report all seems to be running okay this time. ..... Peter

Can you explain me how to "deactivated Edius 8" and "reactivated it" after Windows 10 upgrade. I am not very clever in these mater. I use Edius 8 workgroup...

Thanks for these advices to you you all.... it's important to see issues before they append...

I read (with a big smile) that Anton takes benefits on both situations... producing with Edius and repairing issues coming from W10 upgrades that freeze Edius.

I am also conviced and ready to pay for a "usb key dongle"... It is stable and offer only 1 user per key (or licence)... but as previously said on these forum, it's a dream that will never be realized....

You open the Edius 8 WG licence manager on the edit PC then you have 2 options, one if the PC is on internet, if not you can do it offline by using a usb stick which you then use with another on line PC to deactivate and activate as required. You deactivate the E8 license before the Win 10 upgrade then after the upgrade you reactivate Edius. Peter

Thanks to both of you, quick anwer, text and image.

Other question

So, because I use my portable PC "occasionnaly" to use Edius... it should be preferable to deactivate it all times after use. .... and when closing Windows 10... it will append sometimes an Update.... without impact on Edius....

Next day, or week, or month.... when needed I have only to start the computer and after Windows 10 final update, I will just have to care to be correctly connected to internet, restart Edius and "activate" it.

Are all these steps correct ?

Have a nice Sunday

no, there is no need to deactivate all the time

I would only deactivate if I was to install a Win10 feature update which is basically a full OS installation and a pain in the rear for Win 10 users

Thanks, ... are we advice by windows 10 BEFORE it will do a full OS installation ? (and a pain in the rear for Win 10 users) ?

I deactivate Windows auto update ,if there is one ,I read all the reviews and then decide If and when I allow the update.
Not that I had problems with the updates bud I did skip some of them after the reviews.

That is also a good solution... all these updates.... are they really giving more benefits for us ? If we look to Apple some smartphones were less performant after

If you are on the Internet then you should keep your machine updated because this is one of the best ways to protect yourself from being hacked. This is one of the reasons you can't stop it in Windows 10 home- presumably because Microsoft believe the people that buy Home are too stupid to keep updating Windows themselves, so they make them do it, for their own good.

I can't say any new feature in Windows 10 has really been that useful to me since it came out. The addition of GPU performance to the task manager is probably the only thing I can think of that I really use.

Thanks for advice... I am afraid that an upgrade has an impact on Edius 8.....
