Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

[Mike G]

And yesterday FDRS 42.5.6 was released.

So no more spamming the 're-run network test' to see if new updates show up I guess.

Also since this is a major (41. to 42.) update remember to tick the box for 'remove user settings' during setup so you don't end up with weird results. They may have changed some of the layout internally.

What he's experiencing is what happens if you've logged on to FDRS and you're actually still logged on and working when your daily login timeout expires.

Have you tried my method ? I think it's the same problem with two work arounds I've never tried your way . This happens to me daily and I never realized what the root cause was.

I log on something like 0530 most mornings. By roughly 1630 my cached credentials are timed out.

So if I happen to be actually out working on either the car or the truck when that happens...and I'm in the middle of doing some update...I will get the continual login screen repeats until I actually shut FDRS completely off and then start a new session after about a minute. Last time this happened I was in the middle of a module update and the software had loaded but it wouldn't do the configuration step because it wanted me to log in, over-and-over. So I exited FDRS and gave it 30 seconds. Logged back in, and specifically ran the config routine on the module I had been working on to finish up.

I'm in the situation where I just never close FDRS after I use it, so each day I open up my laptop around 8:00am and when I'm ready to do the network scan, I get the login pop ups. I never thought to just close out the software since, I use that laptop for just FDRS . Seems silly to have to do that.. Either way, I click forgot password. Then Click the "return to previous page" hyperlink on the blank webpage that pops up after I click forgot password. Then the login credetials go away and I can use FDRS. I'm going to try your method tomorrow.
