So I've been a DF user since 2014-06-19 according to Steam, decided to try the beta5 from 8.1.2, lo and behold it wouldn't start, nothing could start it, so I uninstalled everything and tried to download the beta installer because I can't update from within the settings anymore, because I uninstalled it, and now I don't have a valid license, fucking cool. Bet all my settings are gone too, nice.

And how about you update the god damn Steam version its 8.1.1 ffs, almost a year old, and two major windows updates since, had to install Steam just to get this old version running, and when I try to run the update to beta 5, I again get invalid license shit.

Okay I've cooled off some, but still annoyed at this headache which took over 4 hours of my time, install needs to be from Steam or else my License is invalid, and when you upgrade from 8.1.2 (Steam) to 9.0 Beta5... its buggy, it does not remove some of the old 8.1.2 files in the update which causes conflicts, requiring me to kill tasks and delete them manually. Ugh.
Anyway there seems to be some regressions I've noticed coming from v8 to v9, But I'll make a new post for them.

Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for the heads up! It definitely shouldn't be losing the license info when updating to the beta, regardless of whether it's a Steam license or a regular license. I'll be testing this shortly to see what I can find out.

That's the only way for me to get my Steam License to work, to update through Steam, but what happened was doing so left old 8.1.2 files such as;
DisplayFusionHookApp5032 (time stamps something like 2016-08-05 2:42PM)
DisplayFusionHookApp5064
DisplayFusionHookApp6032
DisplayFusionHookApp6064
As well as some Hooks like
DisplayFusionHookApp6064_XXXXXXX-XXXX-ect.dll
These were not unhooking or whatever during the update and no I didn't get asked to reboot, I just figured it was broke, so I downloaded (from here) the beta installer to install over top my old install, but that invalidated my license, so I uninstalled everything deleted registry, etc, clean installed with beta installer, but now it said license was invalid and only for the Steam version, so again I had to go back to Steams v8.1.1, but before updating from within settings, I killed some tasked and deleted the files I mentioned above.
Again it was a headache, just a bad day all around for me really, but now I'm rocking v9.0 and seems to be all well.
