Same here, probably it's the same problem that there has been on Aug 1st 2015: https://github.com/tsroten/pynlpir/issues/31

[RangoHU]

Same here.

[NickPoon]

Same here. The problem seems can be solved as in #38

[JingwenJessica]

Same here. I update the user license file and everything works now.

Downloaded the latest NLPIR package(2016-06-07) and replaced the NLPIR.user file in the Data folder. This should solve the problem.

[LucaDemo]

Yep it works, thanks

They expire the license very often. You can check the date+'.err' file in Data, most of the reason is the license was expired. You can folk their github account, download and replace the license in Data at the first time. https://github.com/NLPIR-team/NLPIR/tree/master/License

I've updated the license file in version 0.4.5 of PyNLPIR. You can download it from PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyNLPIR/

[tsroten]

Also, I've been working on a license auto-updater. I'd appreciate any help with testing it on Windows. For anyone who wants to help and knows how to run PyNLPIR from the develop branch, could you give it a shot? After it's installed, pynlpir update is the command that can be run to update the license.

[tsroten]

Okay, the license auto-updater has been successfully tested on Windows (and Linux and OS X). The notable downside is that NLPIR now packages their licenses in RAR archives, so any system that runs PyNLPIR's license downloader/updater will need to have some type of software that can extract RAR archives.

On OS X -- it's trivial:

brew install unrar

On Linux, it's also trivial (here is an example using apt):

sudo apt-get install p7zip-rar

On Windows, it's almost trivial:

• You have to download "UnRAR for Windows"
• You have to put it somewhere on your %PATH%

Basically, PyNLPIR uses patool to extract the RAR archive. It supports the following executables: rar, unrar, and 7z.

[tsroten]

The trouble is, since February 2016, NLPIR has released the NLPIR-ICTCLAS license in three different formats.

First, in February it was the binary .user license file. Second, a week ago it was published as a ZIP archive. Third, six days ago it was changed to a RAR archive.

So, we don't have any assurances that an auto-updater will continue working. If this doesn't work, obtaining the license file might have to be made manual. And then, PyNLPIR will just have a convenience CLI to add the license to the appropriate directory.

[tsroten]

I've reached out to Dr. Zhang to see if he will consider standardizing the format he uploads the new license files in.

The problem occurs in the first day of 2017 So is there some error about the auto-updater ?

I replace the "NLPIR.user" on my computer with this file: https://github.com/NLPIR-team/NLPIR/blob/master/License/license%20for%20a%20month/NLPIR-ICTCLAS%E5%88%86%E8%AF%8D%E6%8E%88%E6%9D%83/NLPIR.user And it seems pynlpir works now.

[tsroten]

Ok, the license updater is in version 0.5: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyNLPIR

pynlpir update to install/update the license.

[hanhan4321]

I use pynlpir update to update the license,it also has the the same error: pynlpir.LicenseError: Your license appears to have expired. Try running "pynlpir update". then I debug it ,find it in init.py

elif 'Can not open License file' in line: raise LicenseError('Your license appears to be ' 'missing. Try running "pynlpir ' 'update".')

I tried many times,I don't know the reason.

[tsroten]

Hi @hanhan4321! Can you please tell me what it says when you run pynlpir update from your terminal?

[hanhan4321]

Today, it's ok. The NLPIR-team updates the April license today. Thank you！
