My guess would be some version incompatibility. Either your E-sys version is too high for the Launcher, or your Pdszdata is too new. But I'm no expert in these matters. Have you tried with the latest Launcher 2.8.2 in the link that Shawn Sheridan provided? You don't need my script for that. If it doesn't work with Launcher 2.8.2 then your question should really be in another thread.

Cheers, Tony

Yeah, Tokenmaster seems to go missing every now and then... I believe Shawn Sheridan might be able to help you in this case. Perhaps you can try and send him a PM.

Hi,

Thanks for this great tool. however I'm experiencing some problems.
So I reset the time to somewhere July 2017. I run the script, all successful. Then I start E-sys launcher 2.7.1 and only get to input Pin which I don't have. Before running the script I got to input toke folder etc, but not anymore now. I don't know how to proceed. I used E-sys successfully about a year ago and never used it again until now to code a friends car. Didn't touch the software in between. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated!

edit: I'm on 64-bit windows 7.

Use Launcher Premium 2.8.2 and all your problems disappear.
You need no hack or tool.

edit: I'm on 64-bit windows 7.
Did you run the script as administrator? Did you keep the time reverted to July 2017 during the whole process, including starting the Launcher for E-sys after my script had run (this is essential!)?
If you want to look further into this, I'm happy to help you if I can. Please PM me for details. Or use the latest Launcher, It will run without the need for my script or time-tricks.


EDIT 12-07-2018:
--------------------
It just occured to me that Tokenmaster designed to last versions of the Launcher so that the token is stored at a standard location. So it's perfectly normal that 2.7.1 is asking only for a pin and not for a token folder anymore the first time it's started. Just enter any number and you'll be alright. If all goes well, you should see the chassis selection screen next.

Cheers, Tony

Impossible to tell, since we do not know what causes the problem... But worth a try. I've just checked by the way: Launcher 2.7.1 does NOT, and never did, ask for a token folder. Only the pin. So the change you describe after running my script simply can not be true. You must have used some earlier Launcher version before.

I think the problem you're having is probably due to some Windows folder you've relocated. Moving the Documents folder to OneDrive is one of the more common things I've encountered. My script assumes standard locations for all Windows folders and must be adapted manually for any changes. I can have a look for you, but then I'll need a log file. PM me if you want to pursue this further.

Cheers, Tony

Thanks for your support Tony. You are right, it never asked for token folder, I mixed it up with the folder for E-sys which is displayed after the Pin screen. I used E-sys launcher a year ago without issues, and forgot how it worked so all this is my own fault. I think 2.7.2 launcher worked fine after all if I entered the pin in both fields, but I've upgraded to 2.8.2 and then I finally looked carefully and it works fine.

Thanks for your support and I'm sorry for my stupidity!

Just a quick question is it possible to have the script running without messing around with the date as it is quite annoying and there is no way of purchasing the pro launcher?

I'm afraid not. The whole point of the script is to be able to revert the date so that the Launcher thinks the token is still valid. I agree this is a bit tedious. I could probably script the date reversal itself so that the date is automatically reverted, but that would pose a few problems:
1. not everyone uses the same Launcher and different Launcher versions have different timeframes in which the token is considered valid.
2. the date would stay reverted after the script, so the user must manually reset it to today, if he so wishes afterwards.

Cheers, Tony

Great to see this is still a developing thread and how much efforts going in to help others. Nice work Tony!

I actually panicked about the 2.8.0 expiry date and bombarded TM with email requests about getting a V3 license which eventually happened. I still can’t see some of my friends willing to pay $50 to change one or two parameters though, not all of them quite understand haha.

Shawn, I don’t suppose you have any knowledge on why there’s a new premium? It just seemed like after 2.8.0 that was going to be it. I don’t want to install it on a friends or colleagues machine if they’re going to moan at me when it expires again - I may as well travel to some of them and use my machine

ccnonerf15, I appreciate you mentioning an alternative to my script, but please stop using my thread for promoting your own (hacked) solution, which requires a payment to get an activation code by the way.

This thread is about using my script to keep using the free Premium Launcher after it expired. Also, it is untrue that there's no longer a free Launcher as Tokenmaster still brings out updated versions of the free Premium Launcher occasionally; the latest to date being 2.8.2.155.

Cheers, Tony
