Can't log in to old site "license key isn't valid for this domain"

Hi,

I'm working on a client's old Perch site. I can log in fine to the live site's admin but I can't log in to a local version of the same site (I created a fresh copy from the live site).

I have access to the Perch account where the license is and updated the Development domain appropriately, and triple-checked that it is the correct license number and have tried a couple of different domains in case there was some format issue.

Can't think of what else to do to get access to Perch from a new domain. I'm using MAMP and can set the domain to whatever I want, if that helps.

You're using PHP 7, so you need to be on at least v2.8.34 of Perch.

Kirk, Here is some information about the issue you are experiencing.
