All Downloads Paused

I'm trying to run Service Center 2 (which I downloaded fresh from the site, after getting several errors trying to update Service Center 1).

It says "Self-Update in Progress. This may take a while" - it takes about 3 seconds and the bar completely fills up. at the bottom it says "self update in progress" and then when the bar fills up, switches to say "All Downloads Paused"

.... AAAaaand then nothing happens. Ever. Just sits there. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, downloading, redownloading, restarting over and over and over again with the same issue everytime.

on a mac running snow leopard (intel-based MacBook Pro).

ps: this is a super shitty way to upgrade products. Just give us the option to update via serial number like every other application in the world...this is ridiculous.

any help would be very much appreciated.

turns out I was using v 2.2.1...just installed v 2.2.5...and now it just errors out and restarts itself in an infinite loop.

please help....

 

i have the same issue, "all downloads paused" after manually needing to reinstall the service center since it errored out and restarted like your experience previously

 

I am having exactly the same problems. I had to replace my hard drive after a virus and when i have tried to reinstall it, the service centre runs and then i get the message all downloads paused. When i try to run Traktor it will only let me pplay in Demo mode. When i go to 'activate' it says in the service centre that it is already registered. Despite continuous mails to the tech team at NI i have had no reply whatsoever.
Any solutions to my problem would be greatly appreciated
