Hello,
i experience the problem that my subscription code for Myeclipse is not permanent.
I am able to enter the code in the appropriate dialog. And i get the feedback when my subscripption will expire. Myeclipse is happy with the code.
But when i close eclipse the subscription is lost, so i must reenter the code after every start of eclipse.

Eclipse, Myeclipse and the corresponding workspace are in my homedirectory. So i could discard problems with accessrights.
Myeclipse M402 was installed with the installer and today updated to M403
There is nothing in the logfile located at: workspace/.metadata
And i am using SuSE9.3

Ciao,
Carsten

I present the same problems, and installed M03 in the same manner (Update over M02 via the Eclipse Update manager.), I do need to enter the license code again after each Eclipse load as well, only difference on my case with fiffi is that my workspace is in my home dir under my permissions, but MyEclipse is installed by root on /usr/lib under root permission, such as Eclipse is in /usr/lib under root permissions (different dir. This is Gentoo and I use portage to install Eclipse. I installed MyEclipse alongside Eclipse to keep structural coherence on my system.)

Guys, are there any entries in the log file that look suspicious (<workspace>/.metadata/.log)? Are you exiting the workbench normally? We’ll check on an internal install and see what’s up as well.

I have the same problem. I am using Fedora Core 4.

Confirmed with fedora core 4 and MyEclipse 4.0 M3 (manual install method). I was using myeclipse 4.0 M2 before.
My corporation is subscribed for two valid keys tho.

log shows this

after while playing witch eclipse, log got hit by entry:

!MESSAGE Exception thrown during subscription key decode.  Message: 'For input string: "xx/xxxxxxxxxxx

I’ll leave correct input string out, but it wasn’t anything meaningfull anyways.

/edit
typo

I have the same problem. (Test the key in windows and it works) I am using Debian 3.1 and use 4.0 M2 before update to M3.

[Scott Anderson]

We’ve opened a PR and kicked this to development for immediate investigation. Sorry for the inconvenience this is causing, but we hope to have a workaround / remedy shortly.

[Greg]

We have found the cause of the license persistence problem and it will be addressed in the upcoming MyEclipse 4.0GA release. For M3 Linux and Mac users please use the following workaround procedure until that time.

1. Shutdown MyEclipse
2. Change to the directory (cd) referenced by the Java system property “user.home”. By default, this is your /home/<username> directory.
3. Create a sub-directory called user so the new dir path is /home/<username>/user
4. Restart MyEclipse and enter in your subscription information.

Your subscription details will be stored in this new /home/<username>/user directory. Please be aware that this workaround is M3 specific. Upon the MyEclipse 4.0GA release, you will be required to re-enter your subscription details on the 1st startup. We apologize for this inconvenience.

For windows users,

In C:\eclipse\eclipse.ini, add a line -Duser.home=C:/home/user_name
