Hello
I just purchased SGPro and look forward to a cloud-free night 
Now, I tried to “register my machine”, in the Help menu.
I get a strange message (translating from French, my native language):
The input is not a valid Base 64 string because it contains a non-Base 64 character, plus two fill characters or a non-conforming character among the fill characters
