Is there anyone having a locked song problem with known unlocked songs on there Serato HD when using it on someone else's system?

Hi C-Nyl,

Songs on your external HD will need to be unlocked when connecting to someone else's system.

I tried to unlock the songs on the other system, but it wouldnt do it. They play fne on my system, but are locked on someone elses system...
C-Nyl 3:59 AM 12 November 2009
And I have tried a couple of diferent systems. And get the same thing... When you put a song n the player from my HD, it says the song is locked. Eject it and reload, same thing...

What version are they using?

We did design the unlocking with this in mind and have tested it extensively. It has worked for us, so we'll need to find out why it didn't work in your situation. Are you aware of this issue (posted here serato.com)?

Quote:
There is a bug in Scratch Live 1.9.0 (build number 19035) that effects your ability to unlock locked Whitelabel.net mp3 files (files with the ".wl.mp3" file extension).

When Scratch Live firsts detects the presence of a locked ".wl.mp3" file you are presented with an email and password box along with an "Unlock" button. Entering your email address and password then clicking the "Unlock" should unlock the locked file.

The bug:
After entering your email address and password clicking the "Unlock" button has no effect

The workaround:
Enter your email address and password but, rather than clicking the "Unlock" button, make sure the cursor is placed in the password field and click the 'Enter/Return' key.

UPDATE:
This bug has been fixed in Scratch Live 1.9.1. Scratch Live 1.9.1 is a free upgrade for all Scratch Live users and is available here serato.com and here scratchlive.net

So yeah, what version are they using?

We all are using version 1.9.1... But for some reason it is not letting the songs from my HD unlock on another systems...

Hey C-Nyl,

Is you main computer a Mac or PC? What type of machines have you been trying to unlock it on?
C-Nyl 7:07 AM 17 November 2009
I have a PC and all the other systems are PC's except one which is a MAC... I have tried to unlock on both types...
Michael R 4:46 AM 20 November 2009
Ok thanks. So when you enter your login and password on the other systems does it give you an error message when you try to unlock the files?
C-Nyl 5:48 AM 20 November 2009
Yeah, it gives the same error message that on my system about the email address and password you entered is incorrect...

Hey C-Nyl,

Can you please tell me which of your Whitelabel files are locked? These will have the Whitelabel icon with a lock over it next to them in your library.
C-Nyl 3:57 AM 27 November 2009
Actually, all of the white label files are locked when trying to use on another system. The only files that will play sometimes are the ones from my itunes folder and another music folder that I have...
Michael R 1:55 AM 1 December 2009
There are very few locked Whitelabel releases so I'd be surpised if all your Whitelabel files were locked. Do they all have the locked icon displayed next to them?
C-Nyl 11:40 AM 1 December 2009
Yes they do. But only when using on another system...

Hi C-Nyl.

I have to say that's very odd. There are only 30-ish locked Releases that have ever been put on Whitelabel.net. That's a maximum of about 100 tracks.

I checked our logs and you've downloaded LOTS of tracks from Whitelabel (which is awesome, keep it up...) so I don't understand how they'd all be locked.

Another question: when you connect your HDD to another system does it tell you how many unlocked tracks are on your drive?
C-Nyl 4:41 AM 2 December 2009
I didnt really bother to check that out. I was just wondering why it did that.

ChrisD 10:16 PM 19 May 2011
Hi max-z.

Sorry, but Interscope removed the Lady Gaga release from Whitelabel.net. They may add it back later but for the time being those tracks are unusable.

Apologies for the incovenience.
max-z 11:40 PM 19 May 2011
wow o.k thought i made an error somewhere i updated to 2.2.1 on my desktop just before i downloaded that. thanks

I'm running the latest version (2.2.0 22033) and am suddenly having this problem with a track. LMFAO "All Night Long"
Michael R 4:34 AM 22 July 2011
Hey Entice NLA,

Please try re-downloading the track, do you still have the same issue?
