Questions and answers

  1. I’ve downloaded aMember, but the source code is corrupted. How can I download it again ?
    The source code is not corrupted, but it is encrypted with Zend Encoder or IonCube Encoder technology.
  2. When I try to run the trial version, it tells me that it could not run ionCube loader. What is ionCube and why do I need it?
    IonCube encoder and Zend Optimizer both are source code protection software. Both compiles PHP files in encrypted binary format, therefore special loader is needed to run compiled files at your host. On most webhosting servers (~ 90%), ionCube loader can be installed during script load without any additional server configuration. If it doesn’t work on your server, you can always download this testing utility and find out some solution.
  3. Do I need to upload files in ASCII or binary mode?
    Files must be uploaded in BINARY mode. Some FTP clients configured to automaticaly upload PHP files in ASCII (text) mode. It is wrong and useless configuration. You never need to upload PHP files in ASCII mode, so you can disable this option in your FTP client software settings. If files were uploaded in ASCII format, it will cause errors for sure.
  4. I uploaded files in binary mode, but it anyway displays error that file is corrupted. Do I need to download aMember again?
    Please have a look to question #3, files uploaded not in Binary mode.
  5. What are limitations of the trial version?
    * The trial version will expire in 30 days after downloading;
    * Customer will periodically get the nag screen while surfing in customer’s area;
