Please PM me your name and email address and order number, so I can manually find & resend your license. You can also probably find it in your email archive, unless you deleted it.

I think this is the best place to ask this.
As a long time user I wanna finally support this project, but have no PayPal/CC, so transferring the money is kinda of an issue.
In the Microsoft store I can pay with SEPA which would be the easiest way for me.
Can I use the version purchased there to make my docker image functional again?

Unfortunately, no. For Linux / Docker, you'll need a universal license which is only available via direct purchase (i.e not the Store).

Please PM me with name + gmail so we can figure something out.

I suggest a free 1 year FileBot license in exchange for a donation to some EU based open source project (i.e. VLC, MediaInfo, etc) of your choice.

Hi,

Just purchased a 1 year license. When I go to activate either by opening license with Filebot or within Filebot I get the same error.

Here is the message I get:

License Error: C:\Users\danth\AppData\Roaming\FileBot\license.txt

Both the license file and text file are 1kb

Thanks for your help.

Figured it out. My license.txt file was set as read only. Changed that and activated.

FileBot requires write permissions to it’s own app data folder, otherwise lots and lots of things will break.

Do you have any ideas why the app data folder permissions might be read-only? This should never happen.

Hi,

I bought Filebot in the Windows Store, can I use the same license for my NAS? I missed the email with the license file.

Thanks,

You'll need a universal license to run FileBot on your Linux NAS:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6265

A Microsoft Store purchase does not enable you to run FileBot on platforms not supported by the Microsoft Store.

You may request a 1 year complimentary universal license though, which is a completely separate license system from the Microsoft Store:

Hmm, I've just registered and received a Licence key, but its text in a message there is no attachment.
I did try to create a key by copying and pasting it but get the License error: Null message so I guess I did something wrong.

The instructions say that I can copy and paste it in, but at no point do I get this prompt, nor was I able to fine any other method apart from me asking to rename a file and then getting asked for a file (which I don't have!)

There's clearly an issue here, its a great program but you are making this unnecessarily difficult for people to actually pay you to use it, we're not all programmers....
How do I turn the text into a key (its the GUI version by the way)?
Thanks

I've resent your license to your Gmail address. I'm not sure what the error means exactly, something unexpected, so it must be a corrupted / modified license file, which then isn't valid and can't be parsed.

It's possible that your email client messed up the license file. Never heard anybody have issues with Gmail though, so that'll work.

:idea: The license key is plain text, so you can just create a plain text file, paste and then you have a license file. But that's not usually necessary as you should have received your license file as attachment, but some providers block attachments / strip attachments from email without telling you, so things do get unnecessarily complicated if that happens.

Not sure if there is an issue with your instructions though, no-where could I see a way to copy and paste the text, Mac GUI version....

Oh, I see. You were looking for the "Paste License Key" button. That one was only added with FileBot 4.8.5 (currently in beta) for users that can't receive attachments. Sorry about that. Seems the docs have been updated a little bit too soon.

If you're curious about the new release, please give it a try:

Hi, I purchased a License from the Windows Store back in December 7, 2016. I have a copy of the receipt and the order number from my Microsoft Account Purchase History, however, I do not believe I ever received my license. Thank you.

To elaborate, the Windows Store version works fine and I have had no issues since I'm assuming the license installs directly from the Windows Store.
However, I'm trying to install Filebot on my Ubuntu Server and it's asking for my License.

GMail does indeed block email if you're over quota:

Download refers to the general download page, where you can download the FileBot installer package, not your license file. Your license file will have arrived via email as attachment.

The license email looks like this:

If you're using Outlook, then you're likely gonna find it in the SPAM folder accessible via the Outlook website.

Activating this program is a joke, its maybe easy if you can follow there how to. But with no email attachment to copy or spot to paste the key I am starting to think this is a scam i fell for.

I've resent your licence file:

Code: Select all

09.02.2019 03:13	Delivered: [email protected][email protected] 'FileBot License (Order P6943319)' Server response: 250 OK

Note that your license file has successfully been sent to your hotmail address, and was accepted successfully by hotmail, so I know that you've got it, so if you can't find it, then you may want to read up on how to find the spam / junk mail folder in your favorite email service:

Bought Filebot in Microsoft Store. Very happy for the program!!
Did receive order and receipt (MS order nr 3150199303). Have been using it since then (2018-08-11) but after a recent Win reinstall I cannot license Filebot anymore. Cannot remember how I did it the first time since I have no email with a license file...

What should I do?

You have purchased FileBot on the Windows Store, which means it's completely unrelated to this particular thread, which is about the standalone license system.

If you have trouble with the Windows Store, then it's best to contact Microsoft Support. In general, if you have purchased FileBot on the Windows Store, then you don't have a separate license file, but you can always reinstall via the Store as long as you log in with the same Microsoft account. It works like any other digital purchase on iOS / Android / Steam / etc.

Activated on Windows ok.

For Linux, I got this error:

Code: Select all

(process:18308): dconf-CRITICAL **: 10:58:59.632: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied.  dconf will not work properly.
FileBot License *edited* (Valid-Until: 2069-02-26) has been activated successfully.
Everything is working. Can I ignore the error or do I need to re-run the command line as root?

1.
Looks fine to me. You probably don't want to run anything as root, unless absolutely necessary. Running FileBot as root is never necessary.


2.
Some random Linux warning message. Since it says user/0 I reckon it's wanting to do stuff as root, but no idea. You can Google dconf if you want to know what dconf does:

Code: Select all

(process:18308): dconf-CRITICAL **: 10:58:59.632: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.
As far as FileBot is concerned, FileBot activated successfully:

Code: Select all

FileBot License *edited* (Valid-Until: 2069-02-26) has been activated successfully.

You will find your license in text-file form in your mail box. Possibly in your spam folder if you can't find it right away.

Yep. The first email is from the Paddle checkout, and the second one is directly from our license system.

Both contain the same information though.

Out of curiousity, did you figure out how your copy & pasted license file is different from the working one in the email attachment?

Please contact Paddle with your email / name / PayPal invoice so they can look up your order number. Once I have your order number, then I can find and resend the license file.

If you have purchased FileBot on the Microsoft Store, then you can install it via the Microsoft Store. No universal license key required.

Hi! My license file suddenly stopped working (bought in dec 2018, running version 4.8.2). Have tried to apply the license file both on start (by doubleclicking) and while doing a rename.

Hi,
I have got a Windows store License but I would prefer just the normal license. Is there anyway to convert it?

No, a Microsoft Store purchase does not include a universal license.

You may request a free 1 year complimentary universal license:

This error message indicates a generic SSL network issue on your machine. Probably nothing you can do about. Maybe it'll just work again tomorrow.

If you have purchased FileBot on the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store, then you neither have a standalone license, nor can you loose your license. Microsoft / Apple will remember your purchase history in your Microsoft / Apple Account, and so you can just re-install via the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store.

:idea: This thread is about the standalone universal license which you'd receive after purchasing FileBot on this website directly, and not via the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store.
