Hi,

I'm getting this error: "Unable to communicate with the ScrapeBox server!" I try to run sbinstall and sbupdater but I'm also getting error: "Error sending data: (12002) The operation timed out"

This error is on the back-end maybe the developer didn't update it or it's cracked?
 
Probably is on back-end, @loopline can you please help with this?
 
I'm getting the same error too. And it's been 24 hours or so.
 
scrapebox website is down too

are you running the latest version usually a quick update or restarting the vps fixes these random glitches.
 
I'm getting the same problem for a number of days now. i have the latest version; Sent support message but no reply.

Are you guys getting this error only during installation?

Looks like they had single server, no solid backup or no disaster recovery scenario.

SB team just proves they are mediocre at best.
 
It wants license from me on the same computer as usual it used to work, support doesn't even answer
 
Both the licensing and website are currently working for me.
 
Scrapebox is a great software and been using for last one and half decades. Just allow some time and they will be back guys!

Love your comment!

Nowadays i rarely use SB cause i purchase verified links for my GSA campaigns and i dont process links like i used to but still using time to time for scraping here and there and checking / testing. I just updated my copy of scrapebox and works fine. I guess they deployed the license successfully. Wanted to give some love to the developer as its a nice piece of one time fee software i guess i purchased it more than 15 years ago. worth every penny! Guys support like these developers as these of developers and companies are rare to find .. To name few : GSA company (gsa ser / etc) , ScrapeBox , Bot master (xevil /xrummer) those kind of developers doing so many things to the SEO field. i always support..

That being said Scrapebox 21.0.61 new update seems powerful..

I've tuned out of SEO, so I'm not using SB anymore, but I just wanted to chime in and give love to this software, as well...

I've paid around $250 for SB some 6-7 years ago (cause I also bought most of the premium plugins), and I don't regret it either :)

And given today's insanity where each company (including car and appliance manufacturers) want you to pay subscription for their stuff (and I hate it btw, which is why I'm still using old - as in, manufactured 30+ years ago - fridges, ovens, etc) paying monthly subscription for SB is not only what I'd be OK with, but I would actually encourage the devs to do. Although, to be honest, I wouldn't be able to pay more than $20 or so per month :p ... But it's still better (for them) than once-off purchases, it's monthly passive income, and the tool would be worth it fully :)

Can't agree more LMAO :D:D

Yeah I even requested a few developers to ask for some $5 like monthly subscription for their tools and that way they could even improve more.

Nice to see people like you here. Cheers mate!
