I recently installed wwForum on my LAN with an MS Access database. I have version 9.60 according to my Version History.txt file.

I upgraded to the Free Adware Edition where I have a calendar and I am able to file upload, but I am still limited to five message storage and I don't have file attachment privileges.

The message at the bottom of my forum still reads: 'Powered by Web Wiz Forums Free Express Edition.'

Any ideas?

You need to change the forum to run as the Free Adware Edition from the forums admin area.

Once this is done you can conform that your forum is running as the Adware Edition as it will say at the bottom that it is the adware edition and you will also see adverts within your forum pages.

The problem still persists...

The Free Adware upgrade still has 5 messages and no attachments. The only link I can find is:

"Upgrades (Premium and Adware Editions)" and that only enabled the adverts and file manager.

"However (and more importantly), in the "Server Test" at the top of the upgrade page, the following was returned:

License Sever Connection Response

If Web Wiz Forums is unable to connect to the Web Wiz License Server you will not be able to run the Premium Edition.

Pass:
The Web Wiz License Server has been sucessfully connected to

"If Web Wiz Forums is unable to connect to the Web Wiz License Server you will not be able to run the Premium Edition.

"Pass:
The Web Wiz License Server has been sucessfully connected to" (then nothing).

...

I'm running wwForum on my LAN and my LAN is not connected to the Internet. My sole purpose is to run the Premium Edition on a LAN which is not connected to the Internet.

Is there a CD available for the Premium Edition that does not require an Internet Connection?

The Adware Edition would not run on a LAN with no Internet as it would not be able to show the ads that support the Adware Edition.

The response that you get from the server test page is that our license server can be connected to, so if you wish to use the Premium Features you would need to purchase a license.
