FreeFileSync broken

Again: I can't use FreeFileSync, because of the stupid and wrong registration of ten different installations on ten different computers, which is only on one notebook. The maintainer doesn't care, because I reported the issue three years ago and ten days ago. OK, I'll spent some time to install and ...

Re: Donation Edition stops working!!!

Is there some way to have openSUSE not change network MAC addresses after each start? If not, I can refund your donation. What about changing the time after which a device on which FreeFileSync seems to have been installed, can be removed? For me it would be no problem to remove every device except...

Re: Donation Edition stops working!!!

Or simply trust me. Ha That's rich, end users can never be trusted lol Any suggestions on what other data could be collected to uniquely identify a device without being too intrusive to the end user? Also "20XW0055GE" isn't unique, it's a product ID for the device model so thousands of pe...

Re: Donation Edition stops working!!!

I've asked a question about MAC addresses at forums.opensuse.org. Maybe you can take more data into account when checking for different installations. Obviously the product name -- in my case "20XW0055GE" -- is highly significant, but your algorithm doesn't seem to take note of that. Or si...

Donation Edition stops working!!!

Hi! I'm using a donation edition of FreeFileSync and get complains that I had it installed on 10 devices. But if you look closely, it's ten times the same device: AW 13.4 20XW0055G -- LENOVO I guess the trouble comes from my OS Tumbleweed, which changes nearly every day. Your database seems to conta...

Re: Donation Edition: FreeFileSync is currently installed on 4 devices

I switched to a new notebook recently, Linux. It has been added four times to the list of devices. The old notebook no longer is listed.

Donation Edition: FreeFileSync is currently installed on 4 devices

FreeFileSync keeps adding the same computer again and again to the list of devices and refuses to start because the maximum number of devices is 3.

Please help.
