The Perils Of Activation Servers (SAM Broadcaster Pro)
However the Activation Servers can sometimes have issues with how many active activations a user has.
When I try to reinstall SAM I am getting an error message stating I am over the allowed number of activations. I only had it installed on one machine
Hundreds of SAM Broadcaster users have had the same issue since the activation requirement was hard coded into the software
You are entitled to 1 license for this program1 licence = 1 registration key which activates the program
You are permitted to activate the program on different 3 systems
You can only run 1 copy of SAM Broadcaster Pro per licence and you CANNOT run multiple copies.
Its another reason that SAM Broadcaster Pro sucks the way Spacial Audio LIMIT usage of their software.
The SAM activation server has a nasty habit of locking users out of the software, sometimes as the DJ is about to go LIVE on air.
When a DJ can't go on air it makes the DJ look Incompetent and thats something NO DJ should have to put up with.
Things like this should NEVER happen with radio automation software
SAM Broadcaster lost me a position on an Internet radio station about 20 years ago.
That was because the software kept freezing and crashing during a live show it never worked as it should.
RadioDJ is a FREE alternative to SAM.
Reasons to Use RadioDJ:
- Once installed it's stable and works for days/weeks without needing to keep an eye on it
- Great Music library support add as many categories & subcategories you require
- RadioDJ doesn't require online activations or registration keys
- RadioDJ is 100% FREE and has ZERO restrictions on what YOU use it for
- The Database is really stable. Plus RadioDJ comes with a Database Backup Tool
- Easy to manage Playlists, Rotations & Events for all your automation needs
- Great Technical Support should something go wrong with your installation via the Forums
- Customisable Interface with the Color Editor
I've used RadioDJ pretty much since its inception and I never had the software let me down when I was doing a live radio show.
RadioDJ is really reliable and stable.
One user had 4 Years Uptime from RadioDJ v1.8.2
Once setup & configured you may find you don't need to touch or do anything to the software.
Just some light housekeeping and backing up from time to time.
RadioDJ automates music, jingles and promos really well everything seems to mix perfectly together.
SAM Broadcaster Pro has NEVER functioned as it was designed.
Forget Spacial Audio Activation requirements and ditch SAM Broadcaster software as so many other users have.
You'll feel all warm and squishy when you do!
