BibleWorks startup error

Post by akilpat »

I'm getting an error when I try to open bibleworks that says "This version of BibleWorks is time limited. You have now exceed the permitted time and the program needs to be refreshed."

It tells me to run bwupdate10.exe to get a new version of bibleworks but when I try to do that is says the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

I reactivated my old version of bibleworks 10 back in 2024 and it was working for a long time but now I'm getting this error. Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Exit BibleWorks and follow the procedure above to reactivate BibleWorks. You will not receive a "time limited" message again.
