ATX license error
 

Hi,
Need to move some old ATX driven TGP's to the new location but can't set ATX license. It returns error.
Can Frank (ATX creator) fix it? How do I contact him?

good luck with that :)

i don't think it's possible to contact him sadly.

Frank has been mia for longggggggggggggg time

Has he abandoned the script completely?
That sucks. He made the script fully available for free but it still requires response from license server which returns error.

Its a good time to move to a script that supports https trades :)

Any examples?

TE3 instead, maybe?

Trade Expert is the best :thumbsup

When did the license ping disappear for that? Approx year?

TE, smartcj etc

Summer 2019

At the moment only TE is valid choice as it is literally only trade script which is still somewhat maintained..

SmartCJ is still active... they released v2 some time ago and almost everyday is deployed some adjusts to the script

It's paid one or takes a % of traffic. I can't pay $295 per script these days.
I already paid for 50 copies of ATX back in 2007-2008. Now I just need to move a dozen of old TGP's to the new location.
I was 100% fine with ATX.
It wasn't too smart of Frank not make changes to ATX files so that it doesn't require license server response.
He made ATX free but you can't use it without license server, which is now returns error.
I still hope he will fix it.

I feel your pain, I had around 10 copies of Brownie, it was around 1k back in the day.... and around 20 UCJ copies (600$ each)

Still looking for Frank

Easy fix would be to just point aslicense . com to 173.255.233.103 in /etc/hosts like this:

173.255.233.103 aslicense . com
173.255.233.103 www . aslicense . com

You should be able to connect to the license server then.

I had to add the spacing because: "You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 30 posts or more."

The license address you have there is down, I do believe. Domain is suspended.

You didn't get it, pal. aslicense.com is suspended. It says "Whois verification is pending" on front page.

Domain is pending verification, but if you manually input the correct IP address in /etc/hosts, it's going to function just fine, because the server is online.

I checked it on my end to make sure, and yes, I can access it without a problem.

There is no need to access it from web. It's ATX license set up form that needs to connect to it from my server.

Hoping for Frank to fix it.

You should make those /etc/hosts changes on your server, not on your PC.

Your server will try to connect to the domain on the IP address you specify in your /etc/hosts file.

Hardcoding of IP addresses in /etc/hosts is a bad practice, but it's the easiest temporary fix you can make in this case.

I wish you luck!

Ok. I'll try this.

Unfortunately it didn't help.

What IP does it show if you ping it from the terminal?

ping www . aslicense . com

The one I specified in hosts file - 173.255.233.103

If you try to wget www . aslicense . com/atc/dl/05/atc.zip, you can fetch the archive? If so, there must be something that we're missing here.

I just found this page www . arrowscripts . com/library.php?articleid=62 and it says you need to login to aslicense . com and change the domain name there?!

Thank you.

This explains something that was troubling me.

reset your 56k modem and contact with BLINDIO or SCORPION2 scripts or maybe ucj or TM3 or cjpro or cjultra

I can get it. Yes.

What :ugone2far ??

i agree with you, it's a pain in the butt to pay for something that's not usable anymore. but, %1 of total traffic is a fair share for getting a free license. what's better: to have your sites non-functional or to get skimmed for 1% of traffic? :2 cents:

I tried to download the script but the gz files are coming uip as invalid. Tried several different tricks but all came back no good.

I was hoping to look and see if there was a way to jury rig around the license issue.

.

Ok. RIP ATX. You served me well for years. Hope Frank is doing fine.

Woohoo!! Frank's found! Fixed the problem. Long live ATX! Thanks Frank!
