Where are you seeing this error? In Terragen itself?

I believe this problem has been solved now, correct? I think it was an OS permissions issue.

For everyone else's information, you do *not* need to manually re-download key files once you have installed them. If you renew Maintenance, you also do not need to re-download the key, this should happen automatically.

Same problem here, but no solution: Updated today to Version 4.2.10 (Mac-Edition), but no way to add the new License Key. The Maintenance purchase is valid until May 2019. Reinstall the whole program makes no difference.

I am also facing same issue.
The renewed key worked on Windows but don't work on Mac.

For reference I'll attach a screenshot running from command line.

Oops I tried again and it worked.
Though I don't know what causes this...

I contacted the Terragen-Support itself and they told me, there was a bug in the License Key Generator itself and they were to debug it.
On the third attempt it worked by me. The Key was accepted under macOS.

raymoh is correct, the release of 4.2 made a previously infrequent problem more visible and we were able to track it down and fix it. There may be some key file errors still, but we now have a process for resolving it. Contact us at support AT planetside.co.uk if you are having license issues.
