im not sure if this is allowed sorry if it isnt. i have a licence to tweet attacks and the account creator that i dont use at all. i want to sell it so if anyone is interested they can pm me.
 

And how would TweetAttacks know how many days have passed since the last verification without contacting the server? storing the value locally would give crackers a simple way to bypass it. From a customers point of view; I can totally understand the anger, but from a developers point of view; I can also totally understand the way the license check works, otherwise everyone would be running around with a cracked version.

I understand a little the feeling but i believe that if you are not willing to accept that your U$100 piece of software is going to be cracked you shouldn't release it.

Even if i got the TweetAttacks cracked i would buy it after some time because there is a lot of updates and the tool is really efficient. Wait a few days between updates to be able to work isn't worth U$97.
 
are they out of business? software wont work. sites been down. wondering if we should dispute our payment before its too late?

I don't think this is needed, but OP have to state clearly the deadline for solve this issue.

Best regards

I posted this solution in another thread but I will post it here. I have made double digit millions in software sales over the last 10 years.

I would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER call home to check license on the same server. EVER. EVER. EVER.

This solution is simple. It calls home to a bullet proof colo location that has redundant internet and power. This is how I ran my software company successfully for over 10 years.

My colo NEVER went down, not even when the entire city of San Diego lost power for 2 days about 2 months ago.

I bet you're one of those people who think the world is going to end in 2012 as well :rolleyes:
 
I bought it may be a week ago. I couldnt even use it and its broken now. I feel its a bad investment. I am trying to use it since the morning but been unsuccessful, If this has been broken down from yesterday I would like a refund- is this possible? :confused:

Yeah it went down today. Im not sure what is happening with 1and1 again this time. My experience with them is getting worse. Maybe I really need to move to a different hosting provider now.
Jayson, can you give us an ETA? If the lengthy downtime is due to switching hosting providers, just let us know. Your long term customers are a loyal lot, but that loyalty is at risk when there aren't periodic status updates. By "periodic," I don't mean every hour. Every four hours would suffice. It compounds our money loss when we're left twisting in the wind not knowing how long our income stream takes a hit.

Thanks for the hard work in finding a solution.
 
I did it successfully with my software. The code was encrypted and stored within the registry. But my Software was not anywhere close to the popularity of Tweetattacks and probably wasn't a target of hackers.

Besides, your statement makes little sense. If a cracker could get in and bypass it, then a cracker could also get into the current version and just remove the license verification altogether. Either way, with my idea or not, a cracker will bypass it.

This is my worst day in over a Month thanks to this server downtime. I sure hope this gets fixed REAL SOON!!

Otherwise, the Tweetattacks server just put a lump of coal in my stocking this Christmas. :zx11pisse

Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!! Even if you are not able to make any money with this Software because of the server downtime.
 
Im really sorry about this guys, the problem is something that 1and1s 24\7 support cant handle. And the team that can fix it is not available during weekends and holidays which is really bad.

But we already have a solution so you can use it again. Im sending the email now for the instruction.

Thanks and Im really sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the fix!

However, I just tried accessing my VPS so that I can install this new version and my VPS is down!! Lovely ....

Cheap hosting is never the way to go. If I had problems with any of the sites on my server, I can call my hosting provider (Liquid Web) right now and it will be immediately dealt with and fixed. Even on Christmas eve. Even tomorrow on Christmas day. Doesn't matter.

According to the Better Business Bureau, 1and1's rating is an F

Here is a quote about 1and1's customer service:

1and1's Customer Service review said:
Their customer service drives us up the wall They have the WORST custumer service ever. Many times people have called their technical support line only to be on hold for 20-30 minutes. Once you finally do talk to them they really don?t help you at all. Their staff doesn?t seem like they are very knowledgeable. So you might be thinking, you could just email them, but it can take up to a week for them to actually respond.
Here is the worst part about 1and1 hosting. People are commonly signing up for their service. After a year they will decide they don't want them or they want to go with another hosting service. Well, 1and1 does not send you any kind of notification about being signed up for another year of service. You will just get a surprise on your bank statement. You can call them to get them to reverse it, but it usually takes a couple times to actually get someone to do it for you. In some cases people have put a bank block on their care or just shut down their card because 1and1 just keeps billing them.
 
Has the fix email went on yet? I still havent received it... Thanks.

Dude. Upload your code to a different host, and change the DNS A record to point. Bam. Fixed.

You need to understand this is NO SMALL DEAL. I've already hired a dev team to write a clone of your auth server. Hope you obfuscated all of your code . . .
Do something about it, before I watch more people lose money and am forced to release it into the public domain.
