I have to periodically reinstall the license

[ryanknapper]

I've installed FileBot 4.8.2 (r5667) on Ubuntu and I keep having to re-install the license. I've run done so for my user as well as root, but it just won't stick. Shouldn't it be good for a year?

We're in beta. Things change fast. Make sure you're using a recent revision. We are currently at FileBot r5736.

Please run filebot -script fn:sysinfo and post the output.

The license is stored in the ~/.filebot folder, so as long as you don't delete that folder, FileBot will be able to remember the license.

Since the license is stored in the $HOME folder, you'll have to install it once for each user.

You will never need to run FileBot as root, in fact, you shouldn't.

license.txt is currently in the .filebot folder for myself and root, but I re-installed the license already today. I was calling it as root because of a permissions issue, but I think I've resolved that. I'll update my scripts and see what that ruins.

I have now updated to r5736. Pre-update sysinfo:

This line means that everything is fine and well:

Code: Select all

License: FileBot License P3958736 (Valid-Until: 2019-07-04)

If something is intermittently not working, it's probably not a license issue. In any case, I'd need the log to do anything about it.
