Webgrabplus error 403 checking license

Hello,

When I start webgrabplus it reports an error 403 when checking license, like there is something wrong in username, email or password.
I've putted the license key in the format:

license wg-username="flavio73" registered-email="xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com" password="cafxxxxx"
where password is the one listed in the profile

The error reported in the WGLicense.log is:

Job started at 18/06/2020 10:44:39
Checking License ..
Job finished at 18/06/2020 10:44:41 done in 2s

The remote server returned an error: (403) Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization hea
der is formed correctly including the signature..

I'm giving a similar error, I put all the right data and even so as an unregistered user. How do I resolve? I am unable to donate so I use the free one!

Version: 3.1

Hi,

unfortunately I have the same problem, registered and even with license enforcement it says: A previous record dd 2020/07/23 for un_registered user found. Do I need to wait or is it a problem on server side?

error 403 is a ssl issue.
if your using mono try to update your mono certificates.
if on windows then i have no idea,i use linux and had this problem when 3.0 first came out and updating certificates fixed it.
with 3.1 i had a similar error(i forget which exactly) but didnt feel like looking into it more so went back to a older pre lisence version todo the few things i need todo.
this lisence stuff seems to be turning into a royal headache but i aint the creators so users will just have to deal with it.

Well I don't get any SSL error, it only complains that a previous record for an unregistered user exists and my username must be corrected, but license information is correctly added in the config file and 'f' for license enforcement is used.

do a force update,its been explianed manny times.
the forums messes up tags but basically add >f option at the end of you lisence line before _/license_(replace first and last _ with < and >.
u should get the idea.

Blackbear199, actually I did force already, but force will not change anything before donator badge is assigned. This is not mentioned in the installation docs. After donator badge and force again several times it started to work. Thanks! Would be great if this could be clearly indicated in the documentation as the error message is misleading and confusing. It says to change username rather than waiting for donators badge.
