Having issues updating key

[GasMedium]

Hi all,

I am having trouble updating the registration key on my headless Linux server. I was originally on 1.17.9 when I got the “This application version is too old” error. I realized the issue was with the key not being updated so I waited until today but now that the new key is out and I am on 1.18.1, I am still receiving the error.

I have completely uninstalled, reinstalled, and attempted to update the key manually via ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf (though this was a blank file). ChatGPT has been no help troubleshooting either.

I’m happy to post any error messages or terminal prompts but I’m semi new to this and I am really only seeing the “this application version is too old” error.

TLDR; I don’t know what I’m doing wrong when I try to update the registration key on my Linux server.

I don't use MakeMKV on a headless linux box, but I know others have had this trouble in the past.

There might be more threads, but that's the first one found.

I don't know about "headless server stuff", but does this help?

echo 'app_Key = "T-PuNYycrTTHW4QEOfhDrMuJMpojNqmY5CGuESAKXzHvwBvBcXhtsJLj4g6OAXd1zfzk"' >> ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf
