Folding Forum

No, only 2 active. One was a PS3 that I folded 2 WU on and the other was a version 6 client that I replaced with a Version 7 client on the new machine.

Should I get a new passkey assigned?

Maybe that would be best. Make sure you enter it in all your configurations. If you still have an active v6 client make sure you use the command line option (-configonly) to enter the passkey ... i.e. do not use an editor ... client.cfg is not a regular text file. If you're sent a passkey that differs from both your existing passkeys you'll have to complete 10 work units before you start seeing a bonus again but that shouldn't take long with the equipment you're using.

Just FYI, if you use the exact same username and email address in the passkey generator page, you'll get your current passkey back, according to http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-passkey#ntoc8

Thanks. Done and passkey entered on both active clients.

Thank you for the help. Should now be working properly with the passkey active.

You don't need a new passkey, the old one will work just fine. Request a passkey with the same fah user name and same email address as before, and PG will send you a copy of your existing passkey.

A new passkey will not give you bonus till you've requalified it with ten WU's successfully submitted. If you can use the old one, then it won't need to be requalified. That being said, if you change your passkey mid-WU that WU will not get any bonus points regardless.

Project: 7163 (Run 0, Clone 67, Gen 180) Base points only. Completed and returned 8 hours
Project: 7200 (Run 31, Clone 4, Gen 319) Bonus awarded. Completed and returned 7 hours
Project: 6990 (Run 0, Clone 129, Gen 178) Base points only. Completed and returned 8.5 hours

The last 3 WU on this machine, in order of completion.

Glad to hear that you have running to your satisfaction now.

As just an FYI, the 7200 qualifies for the A4 10% bonus and does not need a key to obtain that bonus. The 7163 and the 2990 are A3 and only qualify for the early return bonus.
The key is used to obtain early return bonus points.
