I still have to use the Galileo version for some older GWT apps and I
purchased a two year license on GWT Designer in September of 2009. Now
when trying to open the designer I am getting the Product Registration
and Activation license has expired prompt. I believe that GWT Designer
is free now so can I still use it in Galileo and if so how do I deal
with the registration prompt?
Thanks

Is it happens if you start a brand new and clean workspace?

Yes, even on a new workspace.

It sounds like you are using an ancient version of GWT Designer (pre-Google), so you should uninstall that version and then re-install the current version (use the Eclipse 3.5 build). It is free and does not require a license.

Hi Eric,
Will the new version work under the older eclipse and gwt 2.3?
Thanks

Yes. It should work for Eclipse 3.5 or higher and GWT/GPE 2.2 and higher.

I have been trying all day to update the designer but with no luck. It
hangs with errors every time. The latest is "Transfer Exception
Read timed out". I may try again tomorrow.

This morning I was able to update the designer okay and I do not have
the expiration issue.
Thanks
