Comments on License Error: Banned due to abuse

Please check your spam folder. The email will have been sent to the one on your license. A license can be unblocked, but it'd be best to first figure out why it might have been banned in the first place, because it'll likely get auto-banned again the root cause is not fixed.

I have checked the email account and I do not have any email from Filebot, except for the license fee. In SPAM I don't have anything either.
Could those emails not have been sent?

Thank you

Email were sent on 10 Apr, 17 Apr and 24 Apr. Gmail will keep Spam for a month, but if you're using other providers, and don't regularly check your Spam, then you might have missed them. I'll see if I can forward you the most recent one again.


The first step is to check your local logs as explained in (6.) and (7.) and to confirm the number of licence activations based on your own local log files. What were your findings?

Thanks rednoah, I just received the emails you have sent me now.
On the 21st and 22nd, I was playing on one of my servers with a script and I had to make many continuous requests.

I have marked @ filebot.net as secure mail. Can you unlock my license please.
Thank you.

If your license has been banned, then you will have received multiple warning emails with more detailed information.


Please check your logs against common issues:

Hi I have some issues - my license seems to be unbaned after sending message. But as long as I register from cmd line on my synology and run cmd line on synology it works fine, BUT when I use script from same account it returns
LicenseError: Banned due to abuse. Please read https://www.filebot.net/error/429.html for details.

Should I reboot and setup license on boot?

[rednoah]

Explicitly calling filebot --license will do the trick in most cases, but on Synology NAS the license key path is shared across for all user accounts, while license activation status is specific to each user account, so you may need to filebot --license once for each user account.


On Synology NAS, each $USER will has it's own FileBot application data folder and caches and so filebot --license and -clear-cache work only within the context of the current calling $USER, and thus can only fix license activation status for the current calling $USER due to file permissions.


On Synology NAS, the easiest way to reset everything is to just uninstall the FileBot package completely via Synology DSM. That will clear all FileBot application data for all users.

I see that some times when I run filebot I get the license message without mi interaction

[rednoah]

What are you doing? What does the log say?


If you see license activations multiple times per day, then you're likely accidentally deleting application state:
