How to use WG 3.0 License

In your example you have only a "/>" at the end of the line. In the documentation you linked you can see it has to be "< /license>" (without the space after <).

Is there any possibility of adding a license for a greater period than 1 year i.e. a lifetime or 5 year license.
Personally I like my software to be as hands off as possible and don't want to think about this every 12 months.

Just a thought, thanks

i updated to 3.0.3 but its complaining something about the license:

is all ok or ???

I decided to try the new Webgrab++ version.
I entered the license as described on the site.
And then I got a lot "Cannot grab from , siteini blocked due to a license restriction" wtf
I decided to use one of the donation section files.
and i found i can't use it because:
I only want to use the titles.
perhaps the description, if it is short.
I have to do many translations of the titles and possibly the description like:
index_title.modify {replace|Fudbal|Футбол}
etc.
but how do i do that as the whole file is encrypted and I can only change the time zone.
And "Cannot grab from , siteini blocked due to a license restriction" wtf :D
So this whole ini section is unusable for me.
Anyway. I'm back to the old Webgrab version.
I just wanted to share my experiences with you :D

Thanks for the help, but I decided to stay with the old version. As I mentioned above, these encrypted files are not for me.
I just made an ini file for the new channels that interested me:
http://www.webgrabplus.com/content/mojtvnet

Not being the brightest bulb in the room, I upgraded to v3.1 on my Win10 system and I'm having problems configuring the code in my config file. I got the License pass code from my forum user profile and added my forum username and email address I use to log on to the 'Default' code":

<license wg-username="username" registered-email="forum email-address" password="password"></license>

But I'm having problems with the <!-- Set Username, email (used to register on the forum), password --> data to place in between. Is that section really necessary?

I tried just putting an f in between as mat8861 suggested in his force_license1_7.png above with no success: <license ...>f</license>

And I tried copying the username, registered-email, and license password from the (license) code to that middle code:

<!-- Set [Username used in (license)], [email used in (license)], [password used in (license)] -->

But WG still throws an error. I'll attach the log file. A friend set it up for me a long time ago, Maybe someone can spot a problem in it. Without the license line added, WG does run, but throws that error:

[Warning ] Number of allowed siteini's 2 for license 'default' reached

EDIT: I had some success by formatting the license code exactly as it appeared in the license1.png mat8861 posted above (I'll attach it again here), and placing it below the <settings> tag (duh!):

<license wg-username="username" registered-email="forum email-address" password="password" />

But now the log file only reports allowed siteini's as 3 instead of the previous 2:

[Warning ] Number of allowed siteini's 3 for license 'registered_user' reached.

Sorry that is old. Look at current sample here https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/site...
But your problem above is something wrong in config...so use the sample in siteini.pack and change license with your data

Oh... So you're saying the whole format of the header in my WebGrab++.config.xml is old. Yes, it's at least 3 years old. Do I have that right mat8861? I'll have at making a new one based on the WebGrab++.config.example.xml that was installed with v3.1 then, not on the one in the Github link you posted... right? Thanks.

Most of my old config header was the same as what's in the new example config mat8861. But I pasted the example header over my old one, and tweaked the settings for each tag except for <decryptkey> which I left disabled. I'm not quite sure what <decryptkey> is for or if I need something in there. But I'm still getting the warning of allowed siteini's being 3 when I run WG. Will attach what I have for the header.

So I changed the license code to force it, but it had no effect:

<license wg-username="myxxxxxxxx" registered-email="[email protected]" password="myxxxxxxxx">f</license>

I think I have the license properly enabled if you look at the attachment in my last post. I just put myxxxxx in place of my actual user info:

<license wg-username="myxxxxxxxx" registered-email="[email protected]" password="myxxxxxxxx" />

And it did up my allowed siteini's from 2 to 3

So after reading some forum posts and reading the WGLicense.log.txt in the new v3.1 folder, it looks like I'll need to make a donation in order to be able to have all of my 10 siteinis and 285 channels function in v3.1. Is that right?

I'm seeing these license types listed in the GLicense.log.txt: default, donator_license, donator, registered_user, un_registrd_user, developer. Each with it's own set of limits. With my numbers does this mean I'll need to donate as a developer or remove 35 channels and apply for a donator_license?

I also used to have postprocess set to mdb, and it looks like I'll need to make one of those 2 donations to enable it again... yes? I have to confess I never really understood why my friend set that up, or what exactly it accomplishes.

It looks like the basic 'Donator' badge starts at 5€ for 1 year, and that I need to contact an admin for how much the other licenses will require, yes? Or might there still be something I'm missing in configuring the license in the WG config as I've described above that could get me up and running with my current status?

Thanks for the feedback. :)

To get (for me) a decent set-up is a donator_license of 5 euro = 250 channels and 15 siteini enabled, with 2 hardware id,mdb and rex enabled. You can then donate 10 euro by default is 2 year donator member, but you can send a message to authors and ask them to make 500 channels for 1 year. Becoming donator (5 euro) you also access donator area, where there the keys for EK siteini, except 3 siteini multi country or with lots of channels like mi.tv, movistarplay and jio (Latin America and India).
Extra donations for :
each 250 channels extra 5€
each 5 siteini's extra 5€
2 computers limit removed 20€
Other options on request ..option is --> contact the authors http://www.webgrabplus.com/content/contact

Thank you so very much for laying out those details mat8861. I'm more than happy to support the work of all the good people behind the scenes here. I went ahead and made a donation of 10€, 5€ for the donator_license you mention, and another 5€ hopefully for 250 extra channels if I'm reading your post correctly. Meanwhile I still have a Win7 system running a v2.1.5 beta, but am looking forward to data from some channels that require v3.1. :)

mat8861 wrote:

Ok, notify authors of what you want, as by default it assign 2 year membership with 10 euro.

In the Paypal payment process I did add a comment stating I wanted 5€ of the 10€ to be for 1 year for what you had suggested: donator_license, 250 channels, 15 siteini, 2 hardware id, mdb and rex. And the other 5€ was for an extra 250 channels. But I'll go ahead and E-mail WebGrab+Plus from the Contact page and reconfirm all that. Thanks Mat.

In addition to support, what version 3.1 has better than older versions?

howto activate the donation licence

Hello!
I became a donor and I cannot update the license. I already did as informed in the site https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/site... and still informs in the log as "default".

do a force lisence update as it says on the home page for V3.1

your lisence like is disabled.
remove the !-- from the beginning and the -- at the end.
also for you password view your account on the forums and u will find ur own unique one.

I get the following errors

root@osmc:~# cd /var/spool/hts/wg++
root@osmc:/var/spool/hts/wg++# ./run.sh

I have registered, entered the (correct) data in the config file, but I still get:

Tried forcing license check, removed License folder, but it's always like that... license expired & un_registered_user.
Any help appreciated.

I have te exact same problem

Registered, donated, entered my info on the xml file and get the above message:

Hello, I registered today on this forum. I don't know why I am considered to be unregistered_user and why "Correct the username in the license request" appears in the license log:

[ ] WebGrab++ license request and update log
[ ] 2023/02/18 13:27

My license line in WebGrab++.config.xml is:
[license wg-username="fukor" registered-email="b***@******k" password="********"]f[/license]
(forum did not display it with <>, so I used [] to show you the line)

scroll to the bottom of the page
click on my account
you will see your password,you dont use your forum password.
also you can try a force update,see the faq at the top of the forums.

Thanks for reply. I did not use my forum password but the password from my profile I found under "License pass code".
I used f for force update as I indicated on the end of my previous message.

upload you webgrab config file,remove your pass code first.
i think this line is disabled by default.

does it lok like..
<!--license wg-username="" registered-email="" password=""></license-->

it should look like the pic in post #46

if so remove the !-- and -- from the beginning and end.

I had the begining and ending section already removed, my line looks like:
[license wg-username="fukor" registered-email="b***@******k" password="********"]f[/license]
(forum did not display it with <>, so I used [] to show you the line)

Edit: License log shows my username and email address, so the license line was read. But I'm considered as unregistered.
