Failing to start Julia REPL in Second PC

Hi, I had initially installed Pumas 2.6.1. in my second PC. But after the new version was released, I uninstalled the previous version and installed the Pumas 2.7.0. Whenever I try to call packages, it asks for License Key or an alternate trial key. Also the Terminal closes on its own and doesn’t allow me to add the license key. The Julia REPL works in my other laptop, but due to my laptop configuration it is really slow and hangs. So I want to continue working on the other PC. The error message says: “Possible method call error” . Can you please help?

Attaching the screenshot below for understanding:

This is the error I am receiving from both PC and laptop now when i put the liscence key. Please help.

Afternoon @Smritilekha,

Would you be able to provide the entire error message associated with “The error message says: **“Possible method call error”” that you mentioned. Copy and pasting the text of the error would be great, failing that, if it disappears quickly and you are unable to select it, then a screen recording of it happening would be very useful. Thanks.

Attached is the error message. Thanks!

Ok, that is just something coming from that livesession.jl that is more than likely unrelated to license key entry. Please provide the contents of the livesession.jl file so I can confirm that.

How long does it stay open prior to closing?

I was able to resolve the issue. Thank you!

@Smritilekha could you please describe how you resolved it. This will help future users who might come across this post, as well as our team to improve the installation process to potentially avoid these issues in the future.

I called our IT team from UMB. They used some code reading “using Julia” (i do not remember the code exactly but it was something like this). This code let me stay in the terminal and type the license key which I was not able to do earlier. Hope this helps!
