I'll send you a PM shortly to look into the matter. To be continued....

Thanks Tony that worked for me, you a star mate.

Quick question when can I put the time back to normal?

That's great!

To prevent token errors in E-sys, you should leave your date reverted during the entire FDL coding session. After closing E-sys, you could restore your system clock (and run my script again if you want to do coding the next time).

how's it going Tony Twoclicks.

I've formatted a clean install copy of Windows and it's dated Jan 2017, ran E-Sys Launcher Premium without any issues. As long as I revert the time/date settings back and not to exceed Dec 2017, then good to go right?

Well, not entirely.... Even when dated Jan 2017, Windows will normally update several system folders with new timestamps as your system time progresses. Reverting your system clock doesn't reset these timestamps straight away. Now, each time you start the Launcher it will compare your system clock to all of these timestamps. If it detects that your (reverted) system clock predates any of them, it throws the 'Date manipulation detected'-error. That's where my script comes in. It resets all these timestamps to a point in the past that your reverted system clock will never predate.

If you don't want to use my script, you could just leave the system clock running from Jan 2017 and never revert it. As long as it doesn't exceed Dec 2017 you would be good to go. You would however run into trouble with Windows updates and several websites, like Google, that require an accurate system date that's no too far in the past.

Cheers, Tony

Activation of Launcher 2.8.0 is required if you're on a virtual machine. To resolve, install it on a normal PC or laptop. Another reason could be that you're in one of the countries/timezones that are blacklisted by Tokenmaster. I forgot the exact requirements to resolve. It had something to do with setting your system language to British English, timezone to UK, and keyboard settings to English. It's on this forum and even discussed a bit in this thread a while ago, search or google it.

Cheers,

Awesome little tool. I was getting issues with the Kretzu's VM, this fixed it:

So if you are using the VM and still keep getting the warning about date manipulation this seems to work

Hi, I think you misunderstood. I don't have any VM's, I wrote a script to keep Tokenmaster's Premium Launcher alive after expiration.
