What Happened?
At midnight on the morning of December 7th, ProPresenter for Windows versions 7.14 and higher ceased to function. This was due to a series of unfortunate events involving code-signing certificates and anti-piracy measures that were put in the code years ago that worked as it should, but with a flaw that has now resulted in these Windows applications ceasing to function, with no easy workaround.
When we became aware of the problem on the evening of December 6th, our team immediately started work on identifying the problem and seeking remediation to get our customers up and running quickly.
We are understandably embarrassed by this situation and deeply regret the impact it might have on the trust we try to earn from our customers. Our commitment is to do everything in our power to get your productions back up and running and to be as transparent as possible with regular updates as we have them.
