Yep. Looks good. Last activation is from a few days ago, so it seems to be working correctly now:

What was the source of the issue?

Ubuntu Server when its out of memory kills the daemon that causes the problem, and this daemon its my script XD
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
That's an interesting one! Wouldn't have thought of that. That could cause a problem if it's killed suddenly at an inconvenient time.
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Please read this post thoroughly as it will give you a very good idea what's going on and a general reason why your license may have been flagged:aaseef021 wrote:27 Dec 2019, 03:38 Hi

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Unfortunately, without access to your screen and keyboard, I cannot really help in this case. Perhaps you have a Linux-savvy friend that can help you out?
My first steps towards figuring out the root cause would be as follows:
* Make sure you're using the latest version of FileBot
* According to (7.) confirm the problem for yourself, so that you can later on check if the problem is solved or not
* Read (1.) to (3.) and understand the common theme, and then try to figure out what's going awry in your setup
* Systematically narrow down what's going on, check where filebot is writing application data files, and then trace what's happening to those files before and after filebot is running, to find out why they're magically disappearing between runs.
EDIT:
Note that I'm happy to just offer a refund if you choose not to investigate the issue. Maybe there's a simple cause. Maybe it'll take many many hours to find this simple cause. Maybe it's not going to be easy.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hi
I am willing to give you remote access to SSH or putty, if you like to take a look.
I actually love filebot, would not want to really use anything else

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Sorry, that kinda time-intensive one-on-one service is not currently possible.
Perhaps you could create a new thread, describe what you have tried so far, describe your setup, share your logs and scripts and cron config, etc. And then we can try to home in on the cause step by step. It'll be difficult, but you'll learn many useful skills on the way.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Well, logs are logs, and I can't tell you what to do since it's definitely a client-side problem. You could check your logs, and see if you get the corresponding "Activate License" entires.I don't have an automated setup, I just click on the exe to open Filebot, so I don't know how it possibly could be activated multiple times.....
Reasons the system might have flagged your license:
1. Activated from 5+ countries in a short period of time (normal would be 1-2)
2. Activated many times in a short period of time (normal would be 1-5 times per month)

The first post of this thread should give you the general idea as what's going on, application state is reset between runs, leading to premature "Activate License" requests. This could be for any number of reasons. Some guy had a 3rd party tool that periodically deleted all application data files. Could be anything though. Keeping logs and checking them would be a good first step to figure it out.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
I don’t even know how to get into the logs, and I only use a vpn for watching other country’s Netflix so I never use filebot while I’m on it.
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Well, now is probably the time to learn how to get into the logs and have a look. See FAQ for details.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
At first glance. You're not (6.) using a log file, so you won't be able to (7.) check the log to check if everything is in order. Those would be the first steps so you yourself can confirm that things are working correctly / are not working correctly.My script runs the following on a scheduled task every 30 minutes.I cannot see anything wrong with that script based on your linked forum thread.Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc --output "\\192.168.1.1\data\media\movies" --action move -non-strict "\\192.168.1.1\data\media\moviestobeprocessed" --def movieFormat="\\192.168.1.1\data\media\{plex}" exit
The next step would then be to figure out why things are not working on your machine. This could be for any number of reasons, specific to your machine and setup, something only you can figure out. Whatever it may be, it results in FileBot thinking it's running for the first time, every time.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hello,
My license "PX6452933" was recently banned. Indeed, in one of my scripts, the cache was emptied before the process. Sorry for the inconvenience, it's fixed.
Could you reinstate the license? Also, I noticed that the email address associated with my license is an old one that I deleted. Is this likely to be a problem in the future? If yes, could you update it to ".com"?
Thank you in advance and for your great work.

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
That would explain why you didn't get any of the automated warning emails. Please PM me your correct email address.

What does the log say? How many Activate License lines did you find?rednoah wrote: ↑29 Dec 2018, 06:21 7.
DO check your --log-file once in a while to see if everything is in order:Code: Select all
grep "Activate License" /path/to/log
Code: Select all
Activate License P1234567
Activate License P1234567 MUST NOT show up in your log for each and every filebot call. You will see this message once or twice per month during normal usage. If you see this message hundreds of times per day, then you need to fix your setup. (NOTE: Activate License logging requires FileBot 4.8.5 or higher)
The FileBot log file does not include system console output. Please read Shell Script Debugging for Beginners on how to collect complete console output including crash dumps and device errors. (NOTE: extremely useful for debugging strange issues)

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
I have no change on my setup since one year i have install new realase please unban my licence: P8498486
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Nevertheless. Your setup is broken now, and has been for the last ~4 weeks, because you have been receiving warning emails every week for the last ~3 weeks with detailed logs about your license activations.mulderonline wrote: ↑01 Apr 2020, 09:08 I have no change on my setup since one year i have install new realase please unban my licence: P8498486
I will manually unban your license, but if you don't resolve the underlying issue, whatever it may be, the system will auto-ban you again.
EDIT: P8498486 has already been unbanned on Monday.
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hi there,
Can you please unblock license P9334532? My /data folder dropped out on Docker windows yesterday when fiddling with drives.
Thanks!

P9334532 is not currently banned.
If your license was banned, you would see this error message:

P8461367 is not currently banned. What makes you think that your license is banned?
Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
Hi rednoah,
My PX7006317 license shows a "banned due to abuse" error. Can you review what happens? Thank you

Re: License Error: Banned due to abuse
"banned due to abuse" is preceded by no less than 3 warning emails with detailed license activation logs, so you can review what you're doing, and check that against frequent user errors:
