I tried the demo version for a number of weeks and loved it.  I had been running as a service.  I then bought 5 users licenses.  Went to the "buy" GUI and put in the new key and it said OK.  Then my problems began.  Note that the user name was also different with the 5 user lic.

I could not get the service to start.  I would start and immediately stop.  So I uninstalled the demo version and reinstalled the system.  Same problem.  I have two service configurations set up and they also worked on the demo version????

When you (try to) run watchDirectory as a service, and it has troubles starting up, it will write to the Windows Event log (control panel -> administrative tools -> event viewer) the reason why it could not start.
Not sure what was happening here, would be interesting to see what was written to the log.

The current watchDirectory version has troubles with these 'side-by-side' installs. I guess what happened is that the Service (watchDirectoryService.exe) was running from one directory (watchDirectory), while the 'real' watchDirectory program ran from the other directory. That would get several things mixed up.

Glad you got things working now.
