Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

Is there a demo or do we have to install to test it?

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

I have attached it.

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

You need to install it.

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

For me, even after accepting the licence, I still get the "License isn't accepted" message. I Keep getting "Incorrect Signature".

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

Try entering /Your name/ as the signature

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

That did the trick :) Thanks

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

"Not for resale license" is not listed in the My Licenses section.

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

OK You guys left out instructions!

In the My Licenses section you have to set the FILTER to NOT WORKING.

Then you will see the Not For Resale License.

Re: X-Cart 4.3 beta testing
 

And yes it requires you to enter the slashes too. :(
