Re: Keeping Muvizu alive

[rodrisilva]

It’s well known that most wireless cards don't actually allow you to spoof the MAC address like you can in a router. They're hardcoded into the firmware itself for the devices. Some let you, but a TON less than they used to.



Making official Muvizu Play + , installed previously in my desktop, to run in my laptop I had a couple of surprises. My laptop was connected wirelessly to the web. Muvizu play + license working in my desktop is linked to the Ethernet card Mac address. In order to use it in my laptop I need to change wireless card mac address to the desktop mac address using TMAC v6. I have done that, but my Toshiba L50-B refused to modify it.

After my initial surprise motivated by the fact that I was pretty sure that licensed Muvizu Play + worked before in my laptop I tried to change laptop Ethernet card mac address to the allowed desktop mac address. This time TMAC had no problem to change it. However I was using WIFI, not an Ethernet cable!





When I restarted Muvizu license was recognized and fully working !!!!!



Conclusion: It looks that Muvizu license works whatever connection you are using . At least in my case !!!

Some time ago I presented a way to activate Muvizu on another computer using an authorized computer mac address and the playplus.lic file containing the activation key. Free TMAC v6 was used to change the internet adapter mac address among several others programs . With well-known limitations of some wifi adapters that doesn’t allow mac address spoofing it is still possible to simplify the process and somehow automate it by creating a shortcut that changes the mac address and run Muvizu software in sequence.
Today I’m going to present you how to do that.

Hello
I have no MAC address or even ETHERNET
I only have the License Key

I checked the persistant.log has logged the last failed hits "asks license"

Can you do something?

Every device which can connect to the internet has a MAC address.

Have you ever activated Muvizu on any computer?

Hello
The only change from the last access
Is that I first used an "Internet Key" while now Wifi

I tried to search the data, as I wrote earlier, in the LOG folder but I only have the list of failed accesses.

What I do not understand is how does it check if Digimania servers are off?

That sounds like it should be possible to get your licence back.

There's a longer explanation here: http://anizu.uk/muvizuactivation but here's a short version:

When you enter your code into Muvizu for the first time, it checks the code against a database held in a server. If it's a valid key, it generates a file called playplus.lic with codes which are unique to your computer, based on your MAC Address.
This part no longer works and will return error W4 every time because it can't find the server.

Every time Muvizu opens, it looks for that file and checks it against your MAC Address to make sure you're using Muvizu on the same computer. If the file exists and is a match, it knows that you have a play+copy of Muvizu rather than the free version. This part doesn't require any checks with a server because the file is stored on your computer.

Do you have a folder called "Licence" in "C:\Program Files\Muvizu Play\MuvizuGame\"? Does this folder contain a file called playplus.lic?
If the answer to both those questions is yes, then it *should* be fairly simple to get your licence back. You need to find the MAC Address of the "Internet Key" (I'm not sure what you mean by this).

[Doc]

Do you still have the "internet key"?

[dalola]

Do you still have the "internet key"?

Do you have a folder called "License" in "C: \ Program Files \ Muvizu Play \ MuvizuGame \"? Does this folder contain a file called playplus.lic?
YES

"INTERNET KEY" is a PEN DRIVE for connect to Internet ... As if it were a portable modem with 4G Data Card
Do you still have the "internet key"?
YES

"Ethernet" should be modified for your ethernet device name. Open cmd window and write ipconfig /all. Search for ethernet name.
See example below: Ethernet name = Ligação de Área Local 2.
Rewrited command should be = Call: cmdline-change-mac-address iinfo "Ligação de Área Local 2"
