Updating Depot

[merlin]

I just tried to update my v15 Depot to v20 and fails because of CPS.

What I have now is CPS v20.01,00 (legitimate) and Depot v15.00.00 (legitimate)
The update is v20,01.00 (downloaded)

Anyone know whats up with that ?

How did you get a "legitimate" copy of ANY depot CPS? Real depot CPS requires a depot key (which I doubt you have), the versions floating around are hacks that don't require the HW key.

The only "legitimate" copies of any depot CPS would be in an MSI owned or contracted service facility or "depot". Anything else is just pirated software. Like a Windows product key, if it didn't come from Microsoft, it isn't legit. Yeah, we all know it's "out there" but it is what it is: piracy.

Discussed elsewhere, by default the two cannot co-exist with original default path installation procedures

"Legitimate depot" 🤡

OK, both softwares were originally owned by a county service shop. Yes, I had the key.
Yes, both CPS and Depot co installed and work nicely.
Just guessing Depot 20.01 is pirated, it source is unknown, just happens to be in my stockpile.
I chose to update because if I uninstall Depot, that legit version may be lost, and I don't trust pirate software.

These do have different path folders.

Sure. I presume this purchased from Motorola makes it legit.

I would guess the depot is pirated, and the R version also. Depot CPS is internal to MSI and the HW key (same HW as an ASK) expires, is assigned to a specific employee and not given to "shops", so I highly doubt the "county service shop" had one.

I think we'll close this.

I'll be nice and say I can't believe the "naivety" of someone posting they have a "legitimate" copy of depot CPS.
