What is this recast anyways?

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

I cant seem to figure it out. And now after install everytime I reboot it asks me if I want to download the newest version. And I do and RE-INSTALL it and it just keeps happening over and over. I think I'm going back to the classic version.
 
Are you by any chance using a short-cut that you created from the old version?

If you are starting the program from that short-cut you are still loading the old version.

Be sure to use the link in the program group for TimeTrax Recast.

Does each update get its own folder now or is each update a seperate executable?

I would actually like the idea of that, that way if a new update didn't work you could easily roll back to the older one.
 
Does each update get its own folder?

No - each future update will not get it's own .exe and program group on your system. The reason it is happening right now is because Recast is considered a new product. It therefore associated itself with TimeTrax Classic, but did not remove the application as if it were replacing it.

In the most recent releases, there have been some changes to make it easier for the user to understand what is going on and to prevent users from getting into the never ending circle.

I'm sure its using the second install exe but I will redo the two shortcuts for them just to be sure.

I went through the web site and I still can figure out what the "recast" really is?
 
Recast is our new product.

It has additional code to allow XM users to also use their XM-Online account to capture Album information. In addition you can use XM-Online only and not have your hardware connected if you wish.

It also allows users with both Sirius and XM hardware to use the same software without having to load two separate versions on their PC.

There are other subtle differences as well that are more on the technical side of the house.

Recast is our new building block for future development as well. It has the ability to allow us to build more features into it as time progresses.

Over the next year you will see a lot of changes in the software and Recast is letting us do that.

Hi Derek,

Ok I went through and reworked the shortcuts and reinstalled and it seems to be working ok. BUT I have been using Timetrax for 1-2 years now and when I bought it it said I had lifetime upgrades and now I get a message that says I only have 4 days left to get it registered. What the deal?
