Group product key looks like gibberish afetr update

[jenesis]

is this intentioanl ? if this is to obscure the key , better change it to assterix or somthing.
there is no way for me to know if the key was accepted as i typed it in the web interface.
it looks like queres and black/white question marks

please advise.

It sounds like you’re encountering the update where we switched to base64 encoding the product keys. You’re seeing this problem because you entered the product keys on a version that did not encode them, and the version you upgraded to is expecting encoded keys. You can either re-enter them OR go through the SQL database and base64 encode all of the keys.

Was this done in th last 10-15 days ? because i am using svn 2966 , and before 2922.
i dont know the mysql web interface address or if it is installed with fog at all,but thats outside the scope of this forum.

thanks

The change was quite resent so if you did put in the key using 2922 then yes there maybe an issue when updating to 2966.
