TASCAM DR-10 Audio Recorder will not record - BFW Compliant Software license issue?
The TASCAM DR-05 recorder used to record sermons seems to have stopped recording, While it will playback previous recordings (copied from MacOS), new recordings fail to record. During my investigation, I received a notice that the recording software license had expired. A renewal is $29.99 until 11/15/2019, then $40. I am not convinced this is true, but seems worth the expense to make recordings.
Does this license expiration make sense? The DR-05 manual mentions BWF compliant recording software, but nothing about license or renewal.
There is driver software which can be downloaded at no cost.

Recording uses external lapel mic which has always worked. DR-05 mounted mics also work, but now nothing recorded. "VU" display shows audio input, but not recorded.

Can you upload sample of the recording for testing?
The recoding is in a proprietary format which is very compact in size and the converter is being used to convert the recording to a file of an audio format which can be played in your computer.

Is your recorder the one above?
If yes, there is no need for a software to do recording.
The recordings are saved in microSD card inside the recorder and you only need to take out the microSD card and put it in a USB card reader and copy the files to your computer via the USB card reader.
