Validation no longer appears to be valid

Post by Avi » Mon Oct 07, 2013 5:39 pm

I donated to mediacoder a while ago (8/2012), and received a validation code. Recently, the nagware has started up again, and while I can save my code, I always get "Unable to contact validation server". Do some settings need to be changed? Are the donations only valid for one year?

Try running MediaCoder with admin privileges (right-click MediaCoder, click "Run as administrator"). It needs those privileges to contact the validation server for some reason.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
