ProtectLibV7 Error: 1038

Modalys
#1

Hi Everyone - When I open Mlys patches constructed using ForumMaxApps examples and open them in Max 5 (for reasons of compatibility with the rest of the patch) I get multiple instances of the error message “ProtectLibV7 Error: 1038.” Does anyone know what’s causing this, or some way around it? I thought it was registration-related, but my copy is fully registered. Perhaps these ForumMaxApps, built for Max 6, are not backwards compatible? Thanks for any advice — Christopher

Hi Christopher,

I am investigating, and will get back to you soon.
Would you have a patch example (with the problem) to attach?

Hi Christopher,

This kind of error indcates a protection code error. You probably have an old forum application somewhere (Mlys ? or Modalys) compiled with the old protection system which is incompatible with the new Intel macs…
PLease do check and update these.

Yes, Karim is probably on the right track.

It would be good in any case, Christopher, to have your complete setup : computer model, OS version, Modalys version, etc.

I’m on a MacBook 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
OS 10.9.2
Modalys 3.4 and ForumApps 2013, downloaded yesterday… But perhaps I haven’t destroyed every lingering former Modalys module outside…

Have you verified that it is a priori possible to open these objects in Max on a registered machine and NOT get error messages? I’m sending my patch attached if you would like to try it…

Many thanks – Christopher

Hi again Christopher,

Your patch opens without this nasty ProtectLibV7 error.
I am using Modalys 3.4 on various setups.
It opens fine with either Max 5.1.8 or 6.1.6.

Also, the latest ForumMaxApps work well on 5.1.8 (the Modalys side - don’t know about other technos…)

Karim, does it ring any bell for you? A quick google search reveals that this problem has been come across by other people in the past.

Cheers,
Robert

Thanks Robert. I have finally found the problem: the authorization issue is NOT with Modalys, but with SPAT, which has a few objects included in the “p Rev.” So the solution is to have Spat properly authorized and up to date, or to eliminate this sub-patch.

Many thanks again - Christopher

So all is well! :slight_smile:

  • Are you working on a new piece using Modalys? (I’m curious…)
