Getting Original License File back

Hi,

My subsonic recently got corrupted so I had to blow it out and start from scratch. After setting it back up, I am trying to get my license for when I bought it. The problem is, it doesn't recognize ANY of my email address's to resend the key to. I bought a while ago with a specific domain name.

What should I do next?

Thanks,

Mike

Perhaps you could send Sindre an e-mail mentioning the e-mailadress you used to register your license?
However , I don't know if he's willing to send you the licensekey that's registered to your old e-mailadress...

The key is just an md5 of the email address you registered. You can regenerate it yourself:
Code: Select all
foo:~# echo -n email@example.com | md5sum
5658ffccee7f0ebfda2b226238b1eb6e  -
This isn't any big secret. When Subsonic starts up, it will also check with a subsonic.org server to validate the email is actually licensed. If you're not sure what email you used, rather than continually trying with Subsonic, you can just try loading this webpage: http://subsonic.org/backend/validateLicense.view?email=email@example.com&date=1392556464, of course changing the email to the one you want to try. It needs the date field in there, but doesn't seem to care what it is. You'll get back "true" when you use the correct email.
