Bug: Ampersand in Author Name or License Name

We’ve identified a subtle bug in 4.0.0.284. If you are running iScreensaver Designer and building a Mac screensaver, and your License Name (or Author name on the “Builds” tab) contains an ampersand “&”, then the mac screensaver installer build will be corrupted and won’t launch on a mac.

We plan to fix this in the next release, but in the mean time…

Temporary Solutions:

  • If you have an Unlimited license, then just change the Author name to something that doesn’t include an Ampersand (&).

  • If you have a Limited license, and the ampersand is part of your license name, contact us to re-issue you a new license without the license.

This was fixed in version 4.0.0.285.
