DoStudio has stopped working - help!

[TenementLady]

I do not feel confident using it as I am not a programmer.

This program allows you to edit the assembly code of .exe and .dll files

[Mahar]

Have you a adress mail ?
I can share the dll modified.

[Mahar]

I'll send you a link tonight to download the DLL from my drive.

[Stolz]

I can confirm that the fix works. Thank you Mahar!

Maybe you can solve two other problems:

1. When formatting a BDCMF the compile stops with an error regarding the managed copy information when using DoStudio with an OS newer than Windows 8.

2. When reinstalling the software on a new system, DoStudio tries to verify your license online. Since Sony has shut down the service (around 2024) this is no longer possible. This is very frustrating to not be able to use a purchased license on a new system.

Hello,

If you install DoStudio on a new PC, you just need to copy the folder "C:\ProgramData\Sony" from the old PC to the new PC.
This retrieves your licenses, which are located in this folder.
As for BDCMF, I have no idea.

Best regards.

[Mahar]

But I'm not sure. Maybe it works.
Indeed, this happens when installing DoStudio on a new PC.
The program retrieves an encryption key calculated from the new PC's credentials.
This key is calculated from the DoStudio website.
However, since Sony has shut down the website, it may be difficult to calculate this key.

Hello,

I upload the file here : https://files.videohelp.com/u/315344/LdvdAdvCntScriptParser.dll

This is not working.

I recall that DoStudio registers the PC's motherboard serial nuimber.

[Mahar]

Hello,


Yes, indeed.
DoStudio retrieves the motherboard serial number, MAC address, hard drive serial number, etc.

Best regards.

[Stolz]

Yes, even when you mess around with the installation on an already registered PC, DoStudio wants you to register online again (which is not possible anymore). Before Sonys shutdown of the registration servers you could install DoStudio more or less on any PC you want ("unlimited seats" with one serial number).

[Stolz]

But back to the BDCMF problem:

How do you compile that format (which is mandatory for replication)? Are you using a machine with windows 7 or 8 (like me)? Is there really no workaround?

[Mahar]

Hello,

When DoStudio is activated, the following information is sent to the Sony server :
ContactId
First
Last
Email
Company
AddressLine1
AddressLine2
City
State
Postal
Country
GlobalLicenseID
SerialNumber


But since Sony's server is down, DoStudio cannot receive the encrypted DoStudio license XML file. This file, with a ".nblic" extension, is located in the "C:\ProgramData\Sony\Subscriptions" directory. This license contains, among other things, the license expiration date.
Therefore, it is currently impossible to know how this encrypted XML file is generated.
There is no way to install DoStudio on a new computer.

Best regards.

Hello Stolz,

I'm currently using an older machine running Windows 10.
I don't own any machines running Windows 7 or 8. Regarding BDCMF, I don't have any because I don't use it.
I'm sorry.

I was unable to install it on a new machine running Windows 10 as Sony's servers are no longer working.

Best regards.

[TenementLady]

Thanks again to Mahar, I can confirm that his date fix to LdvdAdvCntScriptParser.dll works perfectly and projects now compile without the need to re-set the date.

I'll try running a BDCMF build and report back shortly.

[TenementLady]

Can confirm - BDCMF Package succesfully completed.
