Authorization doesn't work in China
Hey C74 and forum people,
So, the problem is in the title. When I try to authorize Max 8 being in China, the auth window opens and shows an infinite loading animation, but it doesn't proceed anywhere further. Probably, some C74's IPs are blocked by the great firewall, I don't know exactlly.
I'm not sure what to ask here, as I'm aware of existance of VPNs, proxies, etc., but that's not always possible. Or maybe to ask C74 to provide a solution, like to implement a whitelisted IP just for the authorization service that's not related to any AWS, etc.? Anyways, there's an issue.
Cheers,
Eugene

VPN is illegal in china since 2018. just sayin.
Fwiw when i went there (around 4 years ago), it was easier to crack Ableton than to legally authorize it. Max authorization was alright but it depended on days.
@VICHUG: Haha... very similar to the situation in Poland in late 90's. Nearly everything was cracked. But the problem was that I did not go there, but I just lived there ;-).
If anyone else bumps into this in the future. The support suggested me to use another computer to authorize. So, I guess it all depends on the firewall state in a province or city.
Btw, during debugging I noticed the authorization calling facebook domains, weird.
