License Verification

Fri, 07/03/2009 - 03:30 — LVWolfman

When I first ran Firefox after installing FoxyProxy Plus, the box where I enter my license key said that your antipiracy protections were minimal. I entered the information, told it to check the license and it was happy.

Now in the last 20 minutes or so, that same friggin' box has popped up THREE more times telling me that my license has been validated, with the options to check the license or cancel.

Is THIS your idea of minimal protection? How often is this thing going to pop up in front of my browsing?

Windows XP, Firefox 3.0.11

Thanks Eric,

That was quick. I'll check it but I copied and pasted it from you email. And it SAYS that it is validated and thanks me for buying it.

Hi,

If it's still occuring after you've double-checked your license and email, and you've restarted firefox, please send a screenshot of the "nag screen" that shows you're license is validated to us at support at leahscape.com

Will do Eric, I just restarted Firefox again. If it pops up again I'll do that. It didn't seem like it was intentional, but certainly is frustrating. LOL

Oh BTW, FoxyProxy Plus IS working GREAT! I was already on a 3 day trial with the same UK proxy, but I signed up with your version (I assume it's an affiliate program) and will cancel the other.

The Reboot Did it

Eric,

Just a note. That last reboot made it all work. Thank you!

If memory serves me right here's the sequence

Pay for FoxyProxy Plus
Download and install FoxyProxy Plus
Restart Firefox
Enter Codes (you DID write them down didn't you? As you until the codes are entered you can't go to your webmail to get them)
Restart Firefox

And just to be safe, restart Firefox again.
(to be really safe, you might reboot instead of restarting Firefox in the above steps)

I agree, the license check

I agree, the license check is a little annoying. I haven't this problem before until today when a firefox session was being restored but it started nagging about my license key being invalid and that firefox should be able to communicate with your server.
Waited around 20-30 minutes, tried again and it eventually worked.
Maybe your server was down temporarily or that I just couldn't communicate with it but ... shouldn't the license check only occur once?
Also, what if (god forbid) your server is shutdown and you stop selling/maintaining FoxyProxy Plus...? Won't we all be left without FoxyProxy Plus? Knowledge of this dependancy on your server makes me uncomfortable with regards to longetivity of the plugin.

Hi,

You asked a number of questions so let me address each of them.

1. Yes, it appears the database had a problem yesterday. It was very temporary. This is the first time it has happened.

2. If my server is shutdown or FoxyProxy Plus is discontinued (very unlikely), then the worst that will happen is you'll get the nag screen. periodically. FoxyProxy Plus will continue to work just fine.
