Just got the prompt to install the latest update, version 6.3.1. BSS did the usual, closed and my desktop icons on windows flickered but then the BSS icon came back with a missing file icon.
Going into the folder where BSS installs itself on my C: drive it was empty, checking task manager shows no running process for an update application and after 10 mins it still isn’t back.
I shall now have to hunt through my emails to find the installer again and my licence key to reinstall it.
System specs below, this is all the information I can give as BSS has no log file.

Happy to be contacted if more info can be gathered.
I re-installed BSS. It didn’t work, after the install finished it asked me for my licence key. Upon entering this it asked I take the licence off of one of my devices, despite my current device showing in that list already! It then claimed that it failed to activate my licence after I removed my device and tried again.
I then ran the uninstall application, but it needs work. It left all the files still on my computer, does it actually do anything? I had to go into my application folders and delete the files myself manually.
After a restart I ran the installer again BSS appeared on my desktop and in my start menu unlike when I first ran the installer before. Opening the app however, it shows a blank screen with some loading dots. It does not prompt me at all for a licence key.
This is the first time I have ever experienced issues with BSS in all the four years I have owned it for. I am so perplexed and really just wanted to sit down for some relaxing web development as I came up with a fun idea to try. Disappointed this has happened and I would love for someone to reach out to give me a hand or suggestions on what to do next.
