Light to Pro

[webrossi]

I switch between the Light version of the Pro version. The license key I have. However, it appears the message that the license key is invalid or no connection to the Internet. The connection exists and the key is correct. What am I doing wrong?

I'm experiencing the same problem.  I've just purchased the license and when entering the key I receive the message "The license key you entered is either not valid or a connection to the licensing server was not possible."

What was needed to get the license accepted?

Hello,

I just sent the instructions to you in an email. 

Thanks again!

The instructions worked and it's licensed.  Thanks.

Until the "enter license key" link in the software is fixed, here is the solution:

You can enter the license key yourself by editing one of the Snippetmaster database files:

(If you need help with anything, just send me an email with your FTP info and license key, and I'll take care of it for you.)

1. Download and pen the "/snippetmaster/snippet-db/random_name/program_settings.php" for editing.

2. Look for this text around line #5:

----------------------
license#
----------------------

3. Add your license key after the number (#) sign, like this:

-----------------------
license#SM-PRO-yourkeyhere
-----------------------

(Make sure there is no spaces or anything else after the key.)

4. Look for this text around line # 8:

-----------------------
program_name#SnippetMaster LITE
-----------------------

5. Change it to this:

-----------------------
program_name#SnippetMaster PRO
-----------------------

6. Now save the file and upload it to your website over the old file.

7. Now go to your SnippetMaster login page.  The first time this page loads, it will show you a "invalid offline key" error.  Ignore this error and just reload the SnippetMaster login page again.  Now you should see the program name has changed to "SnippetMaster PRO". This means the license key was successfully installed.

If you have any trouble with these steps, please let me know and I will help right away.  Thank you for your patience as I work to fix this license update problem.
