Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
I've also been banned. I'm running in docker and didn't have /data setup, so that's been fixed now.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hello
I didn't share my license P4436750 with anyone.
Yes, I bought my license directly on the site.
It is installed on a single PC under WIN X but I use ExpressVPN which can explain the different countries.

Your license has been shared and copied, either on purpose or accidentally, and so it has been banned. Please PM me for details and further steps.

Hello, I'm on the list: P5762479
Can you help me out?
My script runs hourly on the same configuration since day one (September 2018) and I recently found out that it is banned. I've changed it to once per day if that was the matter. I cannot understand the conflict. Thanks in advance.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Please check the list of things not to do, and see if you're doing something along those lines:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9594
Running FileBot once per day or every second doesn't matter, as long as you don't delete the application data folder in between runs.
Once you've identified and fixed the problem, I can re-instate your license number.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hi I just found my license is banned due to use clear cache function every two hours. I cannot send PM to you since I have no activity on this board. How can I request to unban my license?
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
P7060103 has been unbanned. Just run filebot --license FileBot_License_P7060103.psm (ideally with the latest FileBot 4.8.5) once again and it should work again.

P4241619 receiving LicenseError: Banned due to abuse
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
The logs show 100+ license activations in the last 30 days.
You will find a log entry such as this for each license activation:
If you see this log message for every single run, then you're doing something wrong, probably something akin to what's outlined here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9594
Please fix the underlying problem on your end so I can re-enable your license on my end.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Okay I'm looking into it
But this is how I'm calling filebot and I'm not seeing any red flags

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
The command is fine. The problem is unrelated to FileBot itself, and cannot be fixed by making changes to FileBot or filebot calls. So I can't help you fix the problem, but I can give you tips to maybe figure it out.
If your license has been banned, that that would indicate that the application data folder is deleted before or after each run:
Since you're using cron, the application context (e.g. user, home, etc) is likely completely different, and not the same as running commands in your own shell.
If you're running snap within cron, unexpected things might happen. Regardless, FileBot requires its application data folder to be persistent, and not deleted before or after each run.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Got it, thanks for the advice.
I see these activation attempts started April 19.
Will post back once I have more info.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
I've just reinstated P4241619 so you can play with it and see what's going on. Just keep a watch out for these Activate License log messages and make sure they don't appear for each successive run.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Thanks,
I've had a play with the application directory permissions. Will monitor.
Thanks for the prompt replies, much appreciated.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Seems to be fixed now, no more 'Activate License' messages.
For anyone else who runs into similar issue all I did was give the /home/<user>/snap/filebot/ directory WRX permissions for all users.
Wouldn't advise it if you're security conscious but for my purposes it's fine.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hi I'm on the last list PX5853842
not sure why My script is calling so many activations, I can post it here?
I'm running it in a freenas jail
application data is a persistent location
I was running it on a dedicated server which is now gone.
