How exactly are things not working? When you update an existing Gold install you don't need to enter your License again. Help > About will show if you're using the Gold License already.

For some people who have problems such as this, it can be made to work by running with the following command, found in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey 5" folder: "MediaMonkey_NoGPU.bat" to start the program

Please capture the white screen event in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

You can leave DebugView running for prolonged periods till you capture MediaMonkey entering a white screen state, then save the log.

This will help a developer analyze why this happens on your setup.

I'm not technically savvy to accomplish this guidance...

It is really quite easy to try.

Using windows file explorer, navigate to the mediamonkey folder in programfiles(x86), find the file called MediaMonkey_NoGPU.bat, and DoubleClick it to start mediamonkey

In file explorer you might need to turn on the option to show hidden files and folders

Capturing a debug log is actually really easy, even though it looks daunting.
1) Download and run DebugView: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... s/bb896647
2) Download, install on top and run the debug version of MediaMonkey:https://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/MediaMon ... _Debug.exe
3) Reproduce what causes the problem or wait till the problem happens
4) Once the problem has occurred, save the log in DebugView and attach the log file to a Support Ticket
