Been using it for years without issues.
Now it wont run or start...
 
I've had a similar problem for some time now. It starts if I clear out the preferences and have it unregistered, but if I register, it crashes on the next restart with a Segmentation Fault (Ubuntu 16.04).
 
Same thing here. I suspect it may relate to the latest version of Java (OpenJDK). Here are the last four lines from running it from the console.

openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)
Segmentation fault
 
Tried to copy my .beersmith2 folder to .beersmith2old to see if it would run from a new environment. It started, asked for an activation code.

Copied my old folder back, it started again, but still asks me for an activation code. Tried the mailback link, but it says it has no record of my email address. Am I hosed?
