Komodo IDE 12 - Won't Phone home to Activate?

i have used Komodo IDE (the yellow one) many times on Windows 11, and 10 i’m sure as well.

I’ve used it for remote debugging of PHP, as it’s one of the few IDE’s which will do it. i think it did it. anyway. haha.

I haven’t been able to use it for months/ years because of the “Log into your Komodo Platform account” prompt is never satisfied, no matter how hard i try.

I would like to be able to use the IDE. Komodo Edit functions fine.
