Maxmind GeoIP2 license key not accepted

[eFa] Please enter your MaxMind License Key (c to cancel): XXXXXX_ZAJ5wHRIAkbC2uFujBv18HaT5cYy2_xxx
ERROR: Invalid entry.
My guess is that they key format has changed and EFA is not accepting the new format.

When did you generate your license key?
I generated mine in 2020 and it's still usable today.

Also, your key looks longer than mine. Mine is 16 characters long. You're looks a lot longer.

Mine was generated on the day I posted this, June 1st.
As far as I can deduce as of geopipupdate version 3.1.1 there is a new key format to use.

Thank you, that helps.
Yes, there is a new key format and it can be used, but some changes need to be made. There are two ways you can do this:
1/ properly
2/ chuck that, let's just make this work.
Let's get you running by going with #2
- edit /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php
- search for 'MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY'. It is on line 55 of my conf.php file
- change it to your new key
- save your file
edit /usr/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/mailwatch_geoip_update.php
comment out the following 4 lines using a # character at the start of the line 36 in my file, so
Code: Select all
if (!defined('MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY') || !validateInput(MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY, "maxmind")) {
$error_message = __('geoipnokey15') . "\n\n";
die($error_message);
}
becomes
Code: Select all
#if (!defined('MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY') || !validateInput(MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY, "maxmind")) {
# $error_message = __('geoipnokey15') . "\n\n";
# die($error_message);
#}
save your file and exit the editor
run the efa geoip update command:
# /usr/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/mailwatch_geoip_update.php
Downloading file, please wait...
GeoIP data file successfully downloaded
Download complete, unpacking files...
GeoIP data file successfully unpacked
Process completed!
and you should be good.

Now for the proper fix, assuming the changes above haven't been made, or have been undone.
The new keys seem to have a format of 40 characters, numbers or letters and the underscore character
edit /var/www/html/mailscanner/functions.php. Search for "case 'maxmind':". It is on line 4659 of my file
change the next line from
Code: Select all
if (preg_match('/^([0-9A-Za-z]{12}|[0-9A-Za-z]{16})$/', $input)) {
to
Code: Select all
if (preg_match('/^([0-9A-Za-z]{12}|[0-9A-Za-z]{16}|[0-9A-Za-z_]{40})$/', $input)) {
save the file
edit /var/eFa/lib/eFa-Configure/func_maxmind and look for the following line (line 23 of my file)
Code: Select all
if [[ $LICENSE =~ ^([0-9A-Za-z]{12}|[0-9A-Za-z]{16})$ ]]; then
change it to
Code: Select all
if [[ $LICENSE =~ ^([0-9A-Za-z]{12}|[0-9A-Za-z]{16}|[0-9A-Za-z_]{40})$ ]]; then
then save and exit the file.
You should now be able to use the eFa-Configure program to enter in your new key.
You should also be able to run the /usr/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/mailwatch_geoip_update.php script to update your GeoIP database correctly.

Thank you.
The code change allows for the new key to be accepted.
