Hello

Years ago I have buyer a license of SX OS for my Switch, days ago I update de switch to 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 and SX OS to the latest beta 2.9.5, today I powered off for transfer a new game, but when I booted after select Boot Custom FW appear a message “Oh no the license.dat file on your microsd card is invalid for this switch console”, only added one file, and not touched the boot.dat and license.dat, I tested downloading the SX OS, tried creating a new license.dat, I tried with an old SX OX for create a new license-request, formatting the microsd with the Switch, but the problem continue.

If I try to create the license directly from the Switch says that the license code is used.

What can I do for solve this problem?


Solved: Downgrading to 9.2.0 and applying fix bit on sd card on hekate.

The license-request.dat is not what is causing the error. It's your license.dat. Are you using exFAT?

Is this possibly related to 10.0.2?
License code 1: a week ago a Switch with 10.0.1 and license.dat created out of the license-request.dat works fine.
Licende code 2: today I tried a different Switch with 10.0.2 and the license.dat created out of the license-request.dat resulted in an invalid license.dat.
Bothe licneses were obtained from the same reseller.
FAT32 file system on both SD cards.

The reseller confirmed that he sent the wrong code and appologized :confused:
The replacement code he sent on the following day works fine with 10.0.2 :)(y)
