Sam Broadcaster Pro Activation Issues

It seems lots and lots of users have had issues activating/using SAM Broadcaster Pro

In lots of cases this has meant lots of DJ's missing their regular Internet radio show.

We're having activation issues with SAM so today's show is cancelled

SAM Broadcaster Activation Keys Not working

Activation issues should NEVER happen with radio playout software!

sam product activation failed

A radio DJ needs a piece of radio playout software to perform so they can do their job or hobby.

I changed PC's a few weeks ago and had to reinstall Sam Broadcaster Pro

After reinstallation I activated successfully but suddenly started getting the error message:

"Product Activation Failed" and "License Warning"

I've tried tech support but suddenly stopped getting replies from them

@spacial Please explain to me why I emailed eight different people in regard to an issue I have with SAM PRO

They all keep telling me my product code key is invalid?

I paid $300 for this program

The SAM Broadcaster Pro activation system doesn't work properly even when users deactivate the software before a reinstall.

It's the thing we see most complaints about apart from the software crashing, buffering or freezing.

The SAM Broadcaster activation server is a black box from a third party called Oceans Software not much is known about how it works.

You also get Spacial Audio support regularly accusing users of running pirated copies of SAM when they aren't.

The fault lies in the activation servers.

Did you ever see SAM Broadcaster complain about activation issues?

I've had that problem myself SAM Broadcaster would complain about an invalid license

SAM Broadcaster would always shut down after 10 minutes without any warning

I have NEVER had issues with RadioDJ and I really do mean NEVER! because RadioDJ doesn't require activations.

No more waiting for Spacial Audio support to get back to you with their usual "canned replies" and other unhelpful advice.

Such obstacles to activation are one reason people turn to cracks or other means to bypass infuriating inefficient software licensing regimes
Makes much more sense using a piece of software that doesn't need activating all the time don't you think?


Update: September 21st 2023: Spacial Audio appear to have done some work on the SAM suite of products & activation system

Whats the betting I hear complaints about activation failures down the line again?
