it's also keep asking me now to log in, re-login. Exit VDJ and check license and I'm log out. Need to login again and again.
Something is wrong.

This is my checklist/backup options when there is an issue with the license validation servers (I've only seen it twice before today)
1. Try it again, and check the license pane in the settings to see if I'm really logged in, and check if the "\Documents\VirtualDJ\license.dat" file is new and has a fresh timestamp
2. If that doesn't work: Disable internet on the laptop, and restore a backed up version of the license.dat
3. If that doesn't work (or if you don't have a backup of the license.dat file): If my controller is supported in v7, use v7 (they can co-exists on the laptop, and it has a different license validation system)
4. If that doesn't work: Run v8 in keyboard mode. That should be able to run without a license and without a 10 min limitation. Make sure to check "Don't ask again" in the license pop-up, and continue to have internet disabled, so you won't get disturbed while mixing with the keyboard
5. If that doesn't work: Use v7 in keyboard mode
6. If that doesn't work: Use my playlist (m3u files), WinAmp and the mouse to complete the gig. You'll then also need to re-configure sound setup so that your controller is used by your operating system as audio out, or re-wire master out from the headphone output on the laptop
IRL I've never gotten further than point 2, but better to be prepared...

Thanks for locking my post on Facebook. Rather than giving us an explanation it's easier just to sweep it all under the carpet. Pathetic.
This very nearly screwed up my gig tonight but that's obviously ok.

Adam from Atomix did post as the last post in your FB thread
Maybe it was locked to make sure that the official message won't drown in a reply flood?

Maybe.
But after nearly 10 years with VDJ I'm going to have to look at alternatives. I can't be in the situation I was earlier tonight. My DJ money feeds my family.
Maybe I'm unlucky working during the week but that's twice there have been license server issues in a matter of months.

As a backup I agree with you. Always have a backup option so you are confident you can make it safely through the gig
But to me that doesn't mean that VDJ8 isn't still my primary option/software
It just means that I have other ways to complete the gig if VDJ8 for some reason can't do it

Doesn't matter the reason. You should always feel safe about your gear when driving to a gig.
So as I said: There is nothing wrong with a backup option. Or 2. Or 3.
I actually have a backup list written down in a text file
That goes for failing software, failing laptops, PAs, mixer, you name it
I feel safer to have all these, and when things starts to go downhill, I feel much more confident going through a list of backup options I have thought through in advance, than coming up with suggestions on the spot

Guess what, there's still a VDJ server issue. On one of my laptops, just got the account login prompt.

How can I be the only one with a recurrence of this issue?

I am seeing the issue as well. It seems to be that now you cannot use your nickname to login. Don't know for sure but tried it several times and would not log me in just using my nickname. This happened just today and don't know what kicked it off and was not about logging into another computer or anything like that. Then I used my email to login and that seemed to take. The default name that comes up is your nickname and not your email. Not quite sure yet but seemed to help when using my email to log in. Have not had this happen before though.

Tried again... logged in using my nickname... this time it took and I was logged in... but when I restarted VDJ it asked me to login again. Then tried with my email and I was logged in... restarted and asked me to login lol... then tried again with my email and that took :) Have no idea why it happened in the first place and have no idea when it will happen again.

Both of my laptops are always running here in my office but that doesn't mean I always have Virtual DJ running at all times.
I only have one laptop running now, clicked on Virtual DJ and it opened with no login prompt.

Never mind, I was logged out of my Virtual DJ software again so this continues to be an issue
Posted Fri 15 Sep 17 @ 1:53 am

Yup... just got it again... wonder if someone has hacked into the username / passwords ? I am constantly shutting VDJ down and restarting for development needs and have never seen this before except when I know I have logged into another computer and that is not the case now.

Since I'm the only one left posting about the login issue, lol, I have only one laptop with Virtual DJ running. 25 minutes and no logout.
Are we still able to use 2 laptops running VDJ simultaneously or is it down to 1 now? Or, is this still the earlier VDJ server issue?
