Re: Donation Edition stops working!!!
"The device cannot be removed before March 17th, 2024." Same here. There seems to be a two week timeout before a device can be removed. Which would be reasonable if the device was identified correctly. Instead of reducing the timeout and requiring manual intervention by the user several t...

Re: Donation Edition stops working!!!
I moved to a new laptop with OpenSuse Tumbleweed and observe the same behavior. So far this has not resulted in me being blocked from using FFS (there were 5 entries for my license today). As @cookie170 noted above, the issue here is that the OS version is included in the database entry, and the Tum...

Re: Donation Edition: FreeFileSync is currently installed on 4 devices
I think the dock I use at home gets the MAC address from the machine (it's a Dell dock with a Dell laptop, never had this problem before when using different Dell USB-C to RJ45 adapters, and I vaguely remember seeing an option in the BIOS regarding MAC address handling with the dock). The adapter I ...

Re: Donation Edition: FreeFileSync is currently installed on 4 devices
I have the same issue. I have FFS installed on two desktop computers and one laptop. I recently got a new USB-C to RJ45 network adapter at work, and since then, when I move the laptop from my adapter at work to my docking station at home, the IP address changes, and maybe even the MAC address of the...

Re: Install 11.6 as unpriviledged user ?
Thanks @Zenju for the quick reply! I think what really ticked me off was the fact that I wasn't even aware I was running the .bin file with root privileges. In Windows users consistently get a dialog asking whether they agree on executing the installer with administrator privileges. Under Linux, if ...

Install 11.6 as unpriviledged user ?
Hi all, I've been testing FFS for a few weeks and like it so far. Thanks for the great work! Just today I saw the new version and went to install it (on Linux/Ubuntu), but was quite surprised that the installer performs the installation as administrator using sudo. I had recently used sudo, so the p...
