Run Beta and Professional Edition Together on Windows box

Amit | Last updated: Jun 28, 2019 05:06AM UTC

How can we run 2 editions together on the same box ? currently it kills the license of the other edition and asks us to reactivate it again when run the beta while professional version is running ( or vice versa). Amit

Amit, this shouldn't be happening. Do you need to enter a license key if you close and open Burp Pro?

Yes we need to enter the license key and now it has started giving an error that no more activation can be done for this key, this even happens when we update the beta and restart. If one edition is activated and you restart the other it will ask for key again,

The issue could be caused by a change of user, Burp is registered to your machines regular user profile, not root. With Windows you would delete the subtree at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs\burp. When you next start Burp you will need to enter the license and activate. We are hopeful that after that the subtree will be recreated successfully and the activation will be maintained. I've forwarded your request to our licensing team (office@portswigger.net) who can provide you with additional license activations.
