"Account limit reached" every time I restart my PC (Linux)

I'm running Simplify3D 4.0.1 on ArchLinux. I'm starting S3D by running the LaunchScript.

Every time I restart my PC, I get the "account limit reached" error when I try to run S3D. I then have to log in to my account online, deactivate one of the installations and then rerun S3D. It's really annoying.

Any help is much appreciated.

Just to let you know, you're not alone. When I was running LinuxMint as my primary OS, the same would happen every several reboots. I worked with S3D support, but never did figure it out. These days, however, I'm primarily in Win10 and haven't had to deal with it in a long time.

Do you know if this happens after a Linux update? Maybe, somehow the S3D software sees it as a new installation and thinks you have exceeded the license? Just a far out there guess!

No, it's every time. In fact, I've just had to do it again as I shut down my PC earlier. It happens as soon as I do a restart.

How odd.
Just throwing out guesses here but I wonder if there is something that makes the S3D software think it is starting for the first time after install each time you open it?
Do you get the log-in dialog window for S3D when you start it?
Maybe it needs to save a file after a successful login but Linux isn't letting it?
