Issue:

 

The patch disc (released March 8, 2005) to correct the expired 
Interconnectivity License provided a temporary resolution to the problem, 
but it allowed the license expiration to reoccur. 

Games affected:

 

Only Force 2004 games linked to a Genesis II (Nextgen) TouchTunes® 
jukebox are affected by the license issue. 

Symptoms:

 

After March 1, 2005, the game will display the message, “Your 
TouchTunes license has expired!”  You will then have to select to have 
the game operate in either a games-only or music-only mode.  If you 
previously installed the V13.12 patch disc and the problem has 
reoccurred, your game will automatically default to music-only mode and 
prompt you to choose either music or game-only operation upon entering 
setup.

 

Solution:

 

The immediate resolution is to disconnect the link between the 
Megatouch game and the TouchTunes® jukebox and reboot the 
Megatouch game. 

Merit Industries is providing a second patch disc (to update to V13.13) 
for Force 2004 games linked to TouchTunes® jukeboxes.  This should 
be installed on all Force 2004 games that are linked to Genesis II 
(Nextgen) TouchTunes® jukeboxes and on all Megatouch Combo 
Jukeboxes and games connected to MegaTunes units, regardless of 
whether you are experiencing the problem or not.  After installing the 
V13.13 software, you will be able to link your game to the jukebox and 
have full games and music functionality. 

This disc will be supplied to all operators who are affected by the issue.  
Because the disc will only update games running Force 2004, version 
13.11 or 13.12, we will also be including a version 13.11 disc for games 
running versions 12.00-13.10.  If you are not currently at version 13.11 or 
13.12, you must install the 13.11 disc first, and then install the 13.13 
disc. 

Once you receive your V13.13 update disc, you should dispose of the 
previous V13.12 disc.
