I’ve tried both those and uninstalled the program, still no joy. I’m going to buy a license but I want to have clean install to start with.

Your licence file is named "license.camlic", and it is located in the Sheetcamtng directory, which is usually located in the path /home/"yourname"/sheetcamtng/. If you delete that file, then install the new licence using the above mentioned "install new license file" you should be good. You won't even have to delete Sheetcam to do this.

Actually, I'd try just using the "install new license file" first, it might save you running around in your directories.

For future reference if you have a new license, installing it will overwrite any existing license.

If you order though the website you generally get the license by email within 15 minutes.
