Disable CDseo pro

thebrigade · #1 05-06-2014, 06:07 PM

i am moving to a new server and have migrated successfully. I have not redirected dns yet so i am using an ip address.
However when trying to view the store from the admin section i recieve a message

'Invalid License! The software is not licensed for IP xxx.xxx.xx

this prevents me from going any further. I can not get into the module to disable.

How do I disable cdseo pro temporarily until i finish config my store and then reenable once the dns prop has been done?

i have tried https://www.websitecm.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/52/0/is-it-possible-to-disable-cds...-admin-section

but to no avail. Help?

xcart 4.6.1

I have to say, any module that does this is not right. No module should be this bold, to prevent the store from functioning because of license issues. Just my opinion.

Have you tried disabling it in phpmyadmin? The module must have a configuration table in the admin.

i have changed the status = 1 in wcm_cdseo_config table

no change.

This stuff is a pet peeve of mine. I've lost too many hours of my life screwing with issues like these. I'd check in auth.php or init.php and see if those include references to cdseo. Try commenting out any references you find. Might cause the site to throw an error, but at leadt you would be on the right track. Also reference the install instructions for clues on where it is initialized.

Another solution is to recursively search through the files for references.

I'm pretty sure that Jon has built a way for you to update your license for a dev store. Check on that and see if you can do that.

thankyou for your replies.
I was trying to avoid drilling through code and playing sleuth
I just thought there would be a simplier way to do this.
Well back to wasting hours on xcart.

status should be 0 and you need to clear XC cache so this direct change to take effect

Only older versions of CDSEO are licensed on the customer side. New versions are only licensed on the admin section.

You may want to look at upgrading and can add your development site as a secondary domain as well.
