And just before the final step to show the direction of adjustment with a star, SharpCap shows a window : You need SharpCap Pro to use this tool.
And also in this window 3 possibilities to select :
-Buy SharpCap Pro
-I have already SharpCap Pro
-Help me out of this problem
As I have sharpcap pro free for one year with my camera I had selected the second possibility.
Than after a short period Sharpcap says it is correct you have sharpcap pro and he shows the date and some data.
When I will go further than I get the same window with the 3 possibilities and that keeps coming!
So I have sharpcap pro but can not use it for the polar align final adjustment
