can anybody help me with this?

I am trying to use the google image grabber addon of scrapebox.

i do not use proxy, enter keyword "tools", grab 21 images per keyword, select size "medium", click "locate image URLs" and I get status "reading", and nothing happens?

it shows "Latest version v1.15.62"

now it's giving me Error 503?

Firstly are you using the latest version of the image grabber addon. The version you listed was for scrapebox its self, but addons have their own version numbers, you should be using V1.0.0.10 - Cause it "sounds" like your using an old version, just from your description, but you may not be.

If you are using an old version, update and try again. If you are using the .10 version then double check that you don't have the use proxies box ticked in scrapebox. 503 is service unavailable due to temp overload of the server. Googles servers don't get overloaded. It sounds like your either inadvertantly using proxies or have something else running, such as HMA etc... that is controlling your connection.
 
I have been using the included keyword scraper for some months now and everything worked fine for me. But now, the scraper returns not more than 10 results per source. There's no difference between German and English keywords.
Proxies are working fine and I'm using the newest version 1.15.62. Is there anybody else with this issue?
 
i just reinstall my vps and reactivate my scrapebox. but it always says scrapebox can not submit my details. i have contact scrapebox team via their contact us but still no answer for almost 24 hours. what should i do? please help

Take a look at your firewall and any other software like Antivirus software which could block scrapebox from sending your details.

I am using Scrapebox for the last 4 months and it proved very helpful for me. As a service provider I have to scrape new links on regular basis and scrapebox helped me reduce my scrapping work by huge percentage. I have my own scripts in php but scrapebox is the best comprehensive tool.

do you mean only 10 results per keyword per source? Cause thats how its supposed to be. Like google suggest for instance, the max results that you can get from it are 10 per query, because thats all it will provide. But the keyword scraper is working fine for me.

upgrade your scrapebox to the latest version. If it says it can't submit your details its likely because you are using too old of a version. Which means its trying to connect to the wrong/nonexistent license server. Just download the lastest version and overwrite your existing or just put it in a new folder.

How to increase threads for proxy testing in SB? Previous versions had that option but I cannot find the settings in the latest version I'm using i.e. 1.15.62. Default settings its taking ages to test the proxies.

...by clicking the button "Configuration" left of the "Test Proxies" button on the proxy manager?

also remember testing them to fast will give a
lesser result than a slower 1

Exactly, I'm getting 10 results per Keyword per source. In earlyer versions scrapebox showed much more results. Sometimes there were 150 results with one keyword and one source.
 
Such a great tool i have read alot about it and now m gonna buy it and use it
Thanks Alot

Hmmm its always only been 10 results per source per keyword. I mean could you imagine if you went to google.com and typed in a phrase and 150 suggestions poped up? Aside from it scrolling clear below the fold, people would panic. When given too many choices, research shows that people generally will either pick the first one, assuming its the best or just panic and do nothing and abort the search and go to another engine. Both defeat the purpose for google, so they wouldn't do that.

Now perhaps in times past you had all 9 sources ticked off and didn't know it and you got 90 results per keyword (max possible) and now you only have 1 source ticked off. Im guessing but that seems logical, but its always only been 10 results per source per keyword, max. I even emailed scrapebox support to double check I hadn't missed something and they confirmed.
 
Looking for a little advice and hopefully some reassurance.....

First I want to say that scrapebox is an awesome tool, and until the past few days I have been completely satisfied with it. However, I've run into problems with it recently. Here's the situation.

I run scrapebox from a Windows VPS at BermanHosting and have been doing so since I first purchased scrapebox in June or July. In early November I went to start up the software and my license wouldn't validate. No problem, I filled out the activation request and I was up and running again in less than a day.

Then a few days ago I went to start scrapebox up again and the same thing happened. Only this time it wouldn't activate. So I contacted scrapebox support and was told that my license had been terminated because it was being shared by 30 people. I never gave anyone other than myself access to the software. After further discussions with scrapebox support I was able to find out that each of the other IPs accessing the license where also hosted by BermanHosting. Support suggested that my VPS and other files may have been cloned.

Naturally, I wasn't very happy about that. After contacting BermanHosting they told me that this was a known issue with the scrapebox licensing server because they validate the license based on hardware id's. On a Windows VPS that means that many accounts are running on the same hardware ids and it would appear as if a number of different people were using the software. They said they could setup my VPS with VMware and that would give my VPS it's own hardware id so that this problem wouldn't occur in the future.

I've passed this information along to Scrapebox earlier this afternoon and am awaiting a reply. In the meantime I'm hoping someone can let me know if they have ever experienced this situation, and if so how they got it resolved. I realize I can repurchase a license for less than $100, but seeing as this was through no fault of my own I'm hoping to avoid having to repurchase scrapebox and simply get my license reactivated once the VPS situation is sorted out (hopefully in the morning).

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi JRose, you are not alone. I have a VPS as well on Bermanhosting and I'm having a problem on licensing my Scrapebox. Just now, when I asked if they can provide me a new machine, they responded well and fast. I just hope Scrapebox will let me activate my license now.
 
Friend formatted my PC and I can not reactivate the program, accuses this message:

" we have not been able to submit your activation request "

I've sent 3 emails to support but I still have not returned, can I help?

Yes, you need a new key. After you reinstall windows you can contact support and ask them to move your license. It will take about 24-48 hours or less.

Scrapebox doesn't necessarily use a "hardware ID" its more of a "windows id" it has a name, but I forgot it off the top of my head. Anyway, Sbox has a program that will change your windows ID. Providers will take 1 windows setup and clone it on many VPS, which makes sense, to some degree, but then they all have the same ID. So you just have to run the sbprep program that support can give you. That will force a change in the windows ID, then activate it and you will be the only one on the planet with that windows ID.

Then you shouldn't have any more issues, you wouldnt need a vmware setup, but if they want to give it to you and you want to go that route, then thats fine too.

Copying an email from support, here it is:

Please update your license to the latest version. In order to provide a better user experience, we have upgraded our licensing servers. If your version of scrapebox is too old, then it will try to connect to the old licensing servers which no longer exist.

Please download the latest version, then overwrite your current scrapebox files with the new version or simply unzip it into a new folder and run it from there.

You can download scrapebox from here:

Copying another email from support, here it is:

To transfer to another PC or update your license after a re-install, you just need to download ScrapeBox to the PC you wish to activate it on, run it and enter your original purchase details and submit them. I'll deactivate your old details, and update your license with the new info.

(I went thru and asked support for some of the common questions I see so I could just copy and paste them vs typing them a hundred times, lol)
