Question,Please come in,Thanks.

If I want to get a License Key,I must donate to this site one time.
Dose it mean?
And the software seems to have a time limit.
If the time arrives,what shall I do?
Hope to your reply.
Thank you very much.

hi!

i will respond in english:

• you do not have to donate to get a license key!
• you only have to sign up at the forum, which you already have done successfully.
• then go to this page -> http://www.donationcoder.com/Keys/index.php
• and select which program you want a license key for and it will be generated there on that page.
• enter the license key and you won't see any more nag screens again.
• the key will last 6 months.  after 6 months you go back to that same page (http://www.donationcoder.com/Keys/index.php) to get a new license key to last another 6 months.  you can do this forever.

is that clear? i know it is a bit confusing..

bottom line: you do not have to donate to use our programs forever and with no limitations or nag screens,
the only requirement is that you sign up at forum and download a free license key every 6 months.

we are all friends here so consider yourself to have just made 9000 new friends

we also have an irc channel if you want to chat - that is the best way to talk.  see here for more information -> http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=772.0

[xiaochun0210]

I cannot connect.
Why?
Help me.

[mouser]

let me check the irc servers -
sometimes a particular irc server will be down and it cannot connect and i just need to switch to another.

[mouser]

the server is up now at least; try again and let me know if it still happens; if so i'll try a new server even though the current one works for me.

ps.
you can also use ANY irc client, or even the freeware program miranda, and connect to any efnet server, and then join channel #donationcoder

for more info see here: http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=772.0

[xiaochun0210]

I have installed Miranda.But there are so many EFnet servers in server name.I try to choose some of them.Failed.
Can you tell me what shall i do?Tell me the detail.

[mouser]

the simple truth is you just try some until you find one that works

here are some to try:
irc.arcti.com port 6667
irc.homelien.no port 6666
irc.limelight.us port 6667
irc.choopa.net port 6667
irc.Prison.NET port 6667
efnet.xs4all.nl port 6667
irc.daxnet.no port 6667
irc.servercentral.net port 6667
irc.inet.tele.dk port 6667

[xiaochun0210]

Thanks.
I'll try each of them again.
Besides EFnet servers,others can't do their work for me.Is that true?
Which IM tool do you often use?ICQ?IRC?Yooha?e.g.
I want to join you.It's a good opportunity for me to learn English.
need your help...

[mouser]

yes, only efnet servers - otherwise you will join a different #donationcoder channel and it will probably be empty or else have crazy people in it

i use mirc (mirc.com) but also see:
http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1527.0

[xiaochun0210]

i use "irc.irchighway.net" and enter #donationcoder channel
but nobody there,besides me
i don't know the reason
perhaps i use the wrong server

[mouser]

you're not on efnet

you must use an efnet server remember!

[xiaochun0210]

each port was chosen from the range  itself
so i can't change it to 6667 what you told me
dos it influence the connection ending

[mouser]

the sites i pasted use standard port, so you can just ignore that.
just try efnet servers until you find one that lets you connect. you should not have to enter any port information.
