[SuperR Kitchen] SuperR.:
v3.1.7.9

Changes:

Changed to single OS on a single PC per account.

Temporarily removed backup server.

Temporarily removed option to choose primary server.

NOTE 1:

This update will probably come as bad news for some of you. I apologize for what you are about to read.

I have switched the kitchen to a single-PC per account model. This means that each kitchen account will only work for one OS on one PC. I know some of you have the kitchen installed on several PCs. This will no longer work.

If you have questions about this, please send me a private message (PM). This thread is not the right place to talk about PC authorization. Thank you :)

Q - Why did you do this? It's not fair!

A - I hear you, and I agree. It is not fair that I put so many hours of work into this project and people continue sharing/stealing it. This project is ONLY for users that value it enough to support it with a donation. I tried as long as I could to fight this battle on my own, taking as little away from you as possible in the process. This approach has turned out to be a waste of time and energy. The only option I have left to prevent sharing/stealing is to limit each account to a single OS on a single PC. Put simply, I can't waste another second dealing with thieves. I need to focus on the kitchen and not who is stealing it. My deepest apologies to all the trustworthy people out there. You don't deserve this, and neither do I.

Q - Do I have to update to v3.1.7.9?

A - ALL kitchen versions up to and including v3.1.7.8 have been disabled. Users currently running v3.1.7.8 should be able to update from the disabled version screen. Everyone else will need to do a fresh install of v3.1.7.9. If you do not update, you will not be able to use the kitchen.

Q - What happens now?

A - Decide on which single OS and single PC you want to use the kitchen. Update that PC to kitchen v3.1.7.9. The first PC to log in with your account on v3.1.7.9 or higher will be authenticated. All other PCs will fail authentication after this.

Q - What if I need to change PCs?

A - You can visit the downloads page and click the link at the bottom "Reset PC Authentication". This will remove the current PC allowing you to authenticate a new PC. The next PC that logs into your account will be authenticated.

Q - Can I change PCs as many times as I want?

A - Yes. However, once you remove a PC, that PC cannot be authenticated again. This prevents users from switching to their friends PC and back to their own.

Q - What if someone else logs in to my account and gets authenticated before I do?

A - You should not have shared your account info with anyone else so this is not really my problem. However, you can always change PCs as mentioned in the last two answers. The other user will not be able to authenticate their PC with your account again after this.

Q - What if I want to run the Windows version and the Linux version in Dual Boot?

A - The Windows version and the Linux version use a different method to determine your unique PC code. It is possible they will be the same. I will not provide support for this if it does not work.

Q - What if I want to run the Windows version, and the Linux version in WSL?

A - If they are on the same PC it might work. The Windows version and the Linux version (when run in WSL) use the same method to determine your unique PC code. I believe they will be the same so it should work. I will not provide support for this if it does not work.

Q - Can I add another PC?

A - Only one PC is allowed per account. If you want another PC running the kitchen, you can donate again for another account.

Q - Are you doing this to get more donations?

A - No. My goal with this project is to maintain a great Android kitchen and community for all the people that support my work. Unfortunately I have been maintaining and supporting many people that do not support my work. This brings us to where we are today. However, donations are always appreciated so if you feel like I deserve them I will not argue :)

NOTE 2:

All plugins have been updated to work with the new setup. Old plugins will no longer work and must be updated. The easiest way to do this after updating to v3.1.7.9:

Plugin Manager > Check for Plugin updates.

NOTE 3:

I have removed the backup server. I hope it is temporary. It is complicated to deal with in the new system, but I will continue to work on it. In the meantime, v3.1.7.9 only uses the NY server.
