So this happened today...
Our company has multiple FB 4.6 Premium licenses (developers and QA).
Our QA user called me into her office because FB would not start - clicking the icon resulted in a splash screen that quickly disappeared. No log entries, and a hanging .lock file in the .metadata folder. My first thought was that it was a classic corrupt workspace issue, so I followed all of those steps to no avail.
Then another developer called me - he is having the same issue. I tried starting up FB and lo and behold I am having the same problem as well. In fact, the only one of us who is not experiencing this problem is the one developer who left FB open on his desktop over night.
I am preparing to uninstall/reinstall in the hopes that will return a functional environment, but I am not especially optimistic at this point.
The fact that this has hit all of us on the same day tells me that it is most likely some kind of license verification problem or other time bomb built into the product (I do not believe in coincidence). Is anyone else experiencing this today?
Thanks,
Leighton
