Dorico 5 doesn't start at all

I appear to have downloaded Dorico 5 for Windows 11, but it doesn’t start at all, either when I press the icon on my desktop or click on the program in Windows: Program Files. There is simply no reaction.

Hi @andygaus7, and welcome to the Forum.

No idea what is happening, but, after installing Dorico, did you try restarting your PC?

I’ll try that.

And if that does not help, I just had another customer with a similar problem, where there was a problem with the code signature of the license server.
What if you start the Steinberg Activation Manager? Does that work?

I’ll try when I get home, thanks

If also the Activation Manager does not start, try to reinstall it as that fixed the other case that I mentioned before. You can grab just the Activation Manager installer from here

It did finally start after I restarted the computer and launched the activation manager. Thanks for your help.
