Is it possible to make LimeLM a bit less strict about Internet connections?

Hello again,

Some of my customers run into a problem of LimeLM not recognizing the computer after Internet connection change. Due to nature of what they do it's a very common occurrence to keep changing the way they connect to the Internet. I wonder if there is any way to make the hardware fingerprint thing a bit less strict so the activation continues to work between the changes. I understand the costs is always some security but still it would make my life much easier.

Thanks for your help 🙂

It's not internet connection changing that's changing the fingerprint. It's that the customer is disabling network adapters (when it adds no benefits and actually creates problems).

That being said, in TA 4.0 we've improved the fingerprint algorithm to use all real network adapters and enable disabled network adapters temporarily so that the hardware attributes of the adapters can be read.

So, short-term answer: tell them not to disable their network adapters.Long-term answer: use TA 4.0 or newer.

What is the ETA of v4 Sam?

A few weeks away. No hard date.

Sam, is it possible to get a beta version of v4 so we can prepare our product for the upgrade?

Thanks in advance 🙂

+1 here.

Sorry guys, the 4.0 final release is coming before Christmas. If we take time out to make & test another pre-release that date could slip.

Still tracking for a pre-Christmas release? My users continue to hit this from time to time.

No, it's coming in the first 2-weeks of January. We need to do more testing, and update the documentation.

As someone being bullied into early releases by my customers I encourage you to take your time 🙂Your product is great and stable and it's worth taking time to make sure it stays that way.

I wish you a great 2016!

Hi,

Could you please provide some pointers here:

>>It's not internet connection changing that's changing the fingerprint. It's that the customer is disabling network adapters (when it adds no benefits and actually creates problems).

My customers claim they just disconnect the Internet connection and use another one. Maybe Windows is disabling adapters by default when it's done? They need to do that because they are in an area with very unreliable internet (basically semi-war zone). Any tips how they can keep the adapters active and thus keep the hardware fingerprint the same would be very appreciated.

>> "My customers claim they just disconnect the Internet connection and use another one."

Right, my guess is that they're disabling the network adapters and don't know what that means.

At any rate, TurboActivate 4.0 will be out soon, you'll be able to update your app and TurboActivate 4.0 will fix the problem.
