:?: What OS are you using? What does the error message say when it doesn't work?

:idea: Note that the email you have used to register here in the forums is not associated with a license purchase.

10.15.8 catalina, I don't want to upgrade. When Filebot went to its newest upgrade it just made it so it tries to boot up, bounces a few times and never opens. So I rolled back to an older version to get it back working and when I uninstalled I lost my license key.

:idea: macOS 10.15 is generally supported, though not something we test on nowadays, so there could be unexpected dependency issues.

:?: What does the error log say? What does the console output say when you run filebot from console?

I dont have the error log as to even just get it to open I uninstalled the newest upgrade. At this point I just need my old license mailed to my email address and your forum wont let me pm to ask.

Since you are now confirmed human (i.e. have 1 or more approved posts) you can now send me a PM with your email address. This is only necessary in this particular case since you seem to be using multiple different email addresses.

Alternatively, you can always use the self-service support system from our payment provider Paddle (see How do I recover a lost license key?) to request a resend.
