Hi guys, anyway to make it so this doesn't keep happening? Everytime I register the libraries it eventually says I need to again. Is there anyway to block it from getting triggered in windows 11? thanks!

 

?

 

Are you using it on a computer that is connected to the internet? I ask because I haven't heard this happening on any that aren't!

 

yes my computer is connected to the internet on and off, is there anything I can do to the host file or something in an obscure folder? block it somehow?

 

I recommend installing tinywall https://tinywall.pados.hu/ and only allowing things you absolutely need to

 

I'm using v2.8.0.58 by R2R with an always-connected pc, and never had any toubles in more than a year.
Someone released anonymously v2.7.0.17, if it happens to be the one you have, consider changing to R2R release.

 

+1 for Tinywall. I have that on every computer I use on the net.

+1 for the v2.8.0.58 by R2R version


@Valorouswon Just a thought, but if you are using Win7 and wish to use Tinywall, grab it quick as the developer is going to drop support for it in the next (or if not, then very soon) update

I would add their web domains to Hosts file to block, if this continues due to it being online. (remember you have to reboot for changes to take effect). I would be rather confident that I will not need their site to purchase anything; the last time I bought or used a Best Service product, it came on a physical cd.

 

rebooting is not essential, an "ipconfig /flushdns" command in an administrative command prompt in windows or
"sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" in osx's terminal will serve the same purpose

 

sure, you could do that too. I'm not keeping track of anything on windows. You would be surprised the number of times people "follow instructions that didn't work". They used to do the same thing with Logic plugins.
