Hey Cullen,

I've been using and grateful for your Look Development Starter Kit. Yesterday, 4/1/2024, I tried to access the Ravengrade Assistant dctle and was met with a message saying my dctle had "expired". I checked my membership with Lowepost and Ravengrade and my membership looks paid thru december. Whaddup?

Best regards,

Charles Rodriguez

In my DCTL List, I only have the CKC Exposure Chart 1.3, but not things like Cinelook 709. Have I installed it wrongly? Thanks!
