No Clouds - SkyMaxx Pro license check failed

[decumanusmaximus]

I’ve purchased your product but no clouds. Per the forums, I checked the attached log file & noticed the following message:

SkyMaxx Pro license check failed. Clouds will be disabled.

I actually reinstalled X-Plane from scratch with same result. Please resolve ASAP & thanks.

You don't have Gizmo installed, which is part of the package from the installer for SkyMaxx and required.

Per the install, I installed the beta version of the Gizmo plug-in and confirmed the following folder in the plugins folder:

Gizmo64.plugin

In the win_x64 folder of this folder, I have the following files:

Gizmo64plugin.xpl
libcurl.dll
OpenAL32.dll

Should Gizmo show up in the plugins section of X-Plane? I don't see it there ...

I'll try re-installing using the stable release version.

P.S. By the way, this is X-Plane 10.51.

It worked with the Gizmo Stable Release. There are a bunch of files for the Stable Release &, it appears, the Gizmo Beta install is missing a number of those files ...

Do you mean 11.51?

Sounds like you have an overzealous Anti-Virus.
