I have working versions of EBSPro V13.0.0.1 on an XP disk and V 14.0.0.4 on a W7 disk (same PC). However, I can't activate any version up to 15.1.0.1 using my key which was issued Dec 2015. Did EBSPro rely on an activation server that's now off?

I get Code:3 unknown internal error on V15 and Code:7 not_found on the others. OS is W7Pro 64

Edit: Answering my own question, probably: The web site has this "Internet connection for first registration"

The key that you once received by email (your email address combined with a 6-digit password), gets into the registry, after which any later install should work rightaway.
Someone else in another forum also had some problem, the ebspro developer told him the email/password key will remain functional forever.
I don't think an activation server is involved.

Thanks. The new installation is on a clean Win7. I copied the registry key, which contains the licence info, to the new installation. Something happened as EBSPro now has the e-mail and key already entered in dialogue boxes when opened but I still get the same error if I click OK.

I've installed as Admin and as a normal user and also tried on a W10 machine that has never had EBS. Same result.

I think you should have entered email & password into ebspro interface, instead of copy/pasting entries from registry?
(If I understand correctly what you have done).

I entered it directly to start with. I tried the reg hack after your suggestion that was where it is stored. The key I found in the registry is the same as the one I had been entering manually.

I'm out of ideas now. :(
But surely there are others here that use & install ebspro more often than I do. Good luck!

I think that EBS Pro is no longer in development, however, I am not sure if this means that there will be activation problems now or in the future. I have a legitimate key and it has always worked so far on several installs on Win7 64 bit O/S machines.

Thanks anyway. I compared the registry values between 2 good installations and there is a string value for "License" that is different between the 2. I presume that is a hash generated from the e-mail, key and some feature(s) of the machine and/or obtained from a key server. Hence not being able to copy the licence with the hash. Those 2 installations are on the same hardware but a different OS & disk.

Thanks. My key is legit and it did work on a couple of installations but that was well before the author shut down his development and servers. As I final try, I installed the exact software (V14.0.0.4), that has been previously proved ok, on a test XP VM and still got this result:

Either my key is now duff or it needs a server connection. Has anyone tried a new installation since the server shutdown, on an OS that has never had ebspro before? (with a legit key)

The website is showing the final version as a *FREE download. Any idea what the * refers too, presumably some form of restriction? Odd to leave the paid for version up with no way of buying it but at least he's removed the donate page.

s-band, Открываешь программу ЕBSpro xxxx . И сразу заходишь в Help Нажимаешь на REGISTRED, открывается окно и вводишь законные данные (почту и номер) нажимаешь ОК. Перезагружаешь программу, компьютер. И смотришь прошла регистрация в Help, она будет серая и ваша почта. Я так делал.

I downloaded that version and it still blocks the non-Lite features. The only difference is the error it gives on entering the key. I wondered what the * referred to as well, I couldn't see anything.
Thanks BM, I'm running out of options. I'm still curious to know if anyone has installed using a legit key, on a virgin OS, since shut down.

Using Google translate:
You open the program EBSpro xxxx. And once you come to the Help clicks on REGISTRED, a window opens and introduces legal data (email and number) push OK. Reloads program computer. And look passed registration in Help, it will be gray and your mail. I did.
Thanks. That is how it worked before but now I can not get as far as that, I just get the error on entering the key.

@Cjcr_ tweeted "EBSpro v.16"!
Is out now, or in development?
Can't check myself now...

Many thanks and for the software itself

It will be great if it is maintained. Fingers crossed.
still not able to register.
Both cjcr-soft.com and ebspro.net are "suspended" at the moment so I presume cjcr is still working on the fix.

ebspro.net is back on line and I unlocked a legitimate copy of V14 on a VM so all seems to be OK now. It only exchanges a few bytes with the server to register. Thanks, cjcr.
