Blacksmith had a "phone home feature". I believe the server it tried to reach is no longer available. When my main computer started throwing this error a few days ago(on Windows 10 with no recent updates), I broke out my old laptop that hadn't been used in 2 years. When I tried to open Blacksmith, I got the message that it needed to periodically check in with a server and I should close the app, connect to the internet and then reopen". I did then connect to the internet and as soon as I opened Blacksmith, I got that error we've all been seeing on a very old version of Windows 10 with no updates..Texture Transformer V1.1.2.0 accepts a reentry of the registration license number, but Version 2.0.6.0 refuses to register. I am not convinced that the Windows update has actually broken all of Blacksmith3d's software. Did he pull the plug on all his products?
