What does the error message say?Hello,
I rebooted my system and now it tells me that my license is bad, what am I doing wrong?
https://www.filebot.net/help.html
Console Output: Select all
Write [FileBot License PX12345678 (Valid-Until: 2071-07-23)] to [/var/packages/filebot/target/data/.license]
Bad License Key: Access Denied: /var/packages/filebot/target/data/.license (rw-r--r-- 1024:101 .license)
------------------------------------------
[Process error]
🔺 Exit Code: 2
The error message tells us that you're using FileBot Node on a Synology NAS / DSM 6 and permissions are screwed up which doesn't allow the FileBot Node user to modify the license file, i.e. the error message says that you cannot install a new license file but it does not tell us what's wrong with your existing one.
What's wrong with your currently existing license? What does the error message say when you do a normal rename operation and it doesn't work? (as opposed to installing a new / different license file)
** If you're familiar with SSH then you can do cat /var/packages/filebot/target/data/.license to check your current license file.
According to the error message, you need to login via SSH and run filebot --license as User #1024 (presumably your default admin user) or do rm -v /var/packages/filebot/target/data/.license with a user that has permissions to delete that file:
Shell: Select all
rm -v /var/packages/filebot/target/data/.license
Alternatively, you can also just uninstall the FileBot package (not FileBot Node package) to delete the entire /var/packages/filebot folder and then start fresh with default permissions.
