I opened one of my portfolios and it seemed ok, but I haven't checked it completely.

Thats because 1.5 would be the file that does NOT have a version number.

Based on the fact though that thousands of people have the auto-updates working. The issue is on your PC actually. I know not what you want to hear but something on your computer is blocking HL from accessing the internet.

I used the file without a version number. It showed up as 1.4.

Oh, I realize it must be something with my PC. Thing is that EVERY other application on my PC can access the internet perfectly well, so there must be something fairly unique going on with however hero lab is trying to do it that combined with something on my PC is causing the issue.

My bad. Too many systems. V1.5 is official 5e version. The community is version 1.4. And HL software is version like 7.6b.

So 1.4 is correct.

In the past Windows Defender has caused issues. Do you have that running?

"Official version"? Where can I download that? 7.6b is what I have installed.

I'll double check Windows Defender... I checked windows firewall, didn't look for defender. Hopefully it's that simple. :-)

The software Hero Lab has two sides to it. The 7.6b is the binary .exe file that runs in WIndows/Mac. The other side is the game system like (5e or Pathfinder or Shadowrun). This game system also has a version number and for 5e it's v1.5 for Patfinder it's 12.18.

If you are running in Windows with 5e your game version is 1.5 and HL version is 7.6b. Finally you have the Community created Pack that has a current version of 1.4. Just a few things to keep track of.

Hope that helps.
