Syncing Problem

I have had a problem develop since loading the latest version of Skydemon onto my PC, which is probably a coincidence rather than the fault of SD itself.

I'm putting the problem on here in case anyone can advise, unfortunately my device is a chinese no name so quite rightly Tim can't support it, although I'm not convinceed that it is the device at fault.

The problem: With my card in the card reader, if I try to use 'Sync'  or  'Device connectivity options' and then 'change which charts are installed' all I get is

Access to path I:\Skydemon\licence.skdl' is denied.

I can however still send a route to the connected card reader, but only the Notams transfer and not the TAFs/Metars.

In an attempt to cure it I deleted the licence file from the card and then all is well I can  'sync' with the sync button or alternatively use 'Device connectivity options'

and change what charts are loaded. I do get the  warning of course saying " The device connected to this computer has not been registered, would you like to register it now etc etc. If I press 'No' or Cancel' it still all loads and likewise if I press 'yes'. Once it's registered with the licence file back on the card, I'm back to square one. Could there be a problem with my licence file? I have turned off the virus software, reset my PC about 6 times  and  reinstalled SD quite a few times.

Thanks. That seems to work. Not sure how the original licence file ended up as read-only, but at least we know what to do from now on.
