Status: offline 		Hi guys

some people are having issues running v1.09. If you get a warning saying you need a license when you have already bought the game then please try this:

Open the game installation folder. Locate and select a file named "Command.exe". Press the right mouse button and select "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility2 tab. Tick the option "Run this program as an administrator". Click on "Apply" and "Ok". Double click on "Command.exe" for running the game.

If you are running Steam version, please also try also running Steam as Administrator:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5688-ifhz-2170

The issue is Steam sometimes needs admin level access to do its ownership checks. This is a problem that affects many games on Steam and these are general instructions from Steam on how to work around it.

If this doesn't help please let us know!

Perhaps even the current steam issues are playing a part in the problem.

Hello,

If you bring up the credits window ("Top menu --> Help --> About Command"), under the "Licensed Modules" text, which modules does it list? Can you please post a screenshot of the window?

Thanks.

Tried running as an admin, the scenarios still show as unlicensed.

Try reinstalling Command and then applying the patch (update button for file).

If you bought NI please install over Command.

Thanks!

Mike

The issue seems to be to do with the serial numbers so we took out the code for that from Steam as it does not need it, so the steam update just released seems to fix all issues.

For our installer version you could try running the game as administrator. We're still looking in to what might be the cause and will get a fix out as soon as we know what the issue is.

Unfortunately, I had to email Matrix for my serial number first. I don't have it anymore. Let you guys know if it works. BTW, I did try as an administrator and it got me into the game but to play the Northern Inferno scenarios it says I'm 'Unlicensed' and won't let me

The one issue I have at this time is when pushing the Check for Updates button on the launch screen, it gives me an error that Windows cannot find \update.exe. I'm guessing this is not supposed to happen. Some help would be appreciated.

I believe that this has been reported. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3953624

Are you currently on the latest 1.09 Final?

I bought Command like 2 yrs ago (matrix, NOT steam) and I have no idea where can I obtain the NI licence code from.
The serial from command doesnt work - is the same like serialreg.txt from command folder)

Please make sure that you are installing the update in the same folder as the original game is installed.

Don't you need to buy NI first? You will then get a serial number to unlock NI.

Status: offline 		Still cannot get license to work. Game runs fine just cannot load included scenarios.
Tried installing 1.08 then 1.09 on top
Tried an earlier version then 1.09 on top
Tried just installing 1.09 final
Tried upgrading it to build 10
Deleted everything command related before each step.
Tried running as admin. Both exe and shortcut.
Tried many deletes, downloads and re-installs.
There are not many places to mess up.
Download/run installer/ enter serial # - (Do not have NI yet so left NI serial number blank)/Run framework installer(although it tells me I already have the latest). Closed that window. Clicked finish.
Only unusual part of the whole process is I install to E: instead of c: due to the fact that my PC vendor setup c: as a 2gb drive for windows. E: has 1.8 TB available.
Windows 10
Unless it's a problem with my account I'm at a loss.

Did a complete new download and install from Matrix site.
The "Check for update" button gives me the same error others have reported so I have to download and install updates.
