nProbe License can't verify

[Howard-Chang]

I have got a nProbe License and I refer this website http://www.ntop.org/support/faq/my-license-does-not-work-what-can-i-do/ paste the Authentication Code on the nprobe.license txt file and placed on the same directory where nprobe.exe is located . After doing that when I reopen the nProbe it's still the DEMO version.

thanks for the help.

just tried to reproduce without success. nProbe on win works properly with a license file.

Make sure the file 'nprobe.license' does not have a .txt extension: open notepad as an administrator, paste the license key in the editor, and then save the file under Program Files/nProbe as nprobe.license

then

[Howard-Chang]

It can work now thank you : )

[simonemainardi]

Please, explain what did you to exactly to make it working so other people in the community can benefit from this thread. Thank you

[Howard-Chang]

Because I save it as txt file so it can't run. follow simonemainardi step is great to work!

[simonemainardi]
