Mike when you release a statement on licensecart's future please let me know since as a precautionary matter since I had no clue how this was going to pan out I disabled your account in my blesta for precautionary measures including suspending all licenses until I heard from you directly. 

feel free to cancel the reseller account then Timothy.

I don't want to cancel it mike but I wanted to verify what was happening since all of this took me by surprise it would have been helpful if you could have let me & @cyandark know what happened hopefully as we are understanding and would have worked with you and taken away all "license fee's" for you until you got back on your feet so you could "resell" licenses free until you was able to afford them again. 

I tagged cyandark since he didn't hear from you on blesta_cms so was very confused since neither me him or anyone heard from you until now.

Doesn't sound like verifying to me. Just cancel the reseller account and you can be worry free.

No point, feel free to activate the "paid ones" you can cancel the reseller account since you've shown me what you think of me.

Hi Mike,

                 The best way you could have handled the situation was to simply answer the tickets and tell folks the truth or at least tell your clients that things have gone to shit for the moment so best to look for a license elsewhere. Leaving clients hanging makes them look bad to their clients and damages a brands reputation. I know I certainly could have respected that. Things happen in business and sometimes things go sideways and get out of control with no way out. For me, it wasn't that big of a deal because after the first day of my license being suspended I obviously got one elsewhere in the interim. Either way, I truly hope you get your head above water with this and wish you well in the future. Good luck Mike.

I'm not sure how I could tell people or reply to tickets when I go to work do a long shift, come home have tea (dinner) then go to bed, wake up go to work, come home have tea and then go to bed. Oh wait sorry boss you have to wait I have tickets I have to reply to first. Callum and Matthew helped me when I was at work but Callum broke his wrist (right hand) and couldn't reply to them due to being in pain and matthew has been going to Uni full time. But thanks for the luck mate and if I had time I would have done it.

Just a suggestion but hopefully you're never in this position again. A notification on your website or a quick post to Facebook to reassure people would have eased a lot of their concerns.

Kids don't run hosting businesses.

Seems you shouldn't be running a business.  You knew this was going on, you knew you were taking a second job, you knew many things.  You could've emailed your customers.  You could've taken 5 minutes to send an email blast using Blesta's mass email plugin.

You are full of excuses and no solutions.  Take some responsibility and stop making excuses and for goodness sake don't start another "business" until you perhaps take some business management classes.

Excuses? What excuses I've explained truthfully what happened and how I was resolving it I wasn't expecting to do long hours working, I took responsibility if you didn't read and I paid the bills when I knew that Licensecart had licenses suspended and I'm paying my dues. I take it you aren't human and you don't make mistakes and if you do why are you allowed to recover and learn how to not make them again but I can't? It could have taken others (vendors) 5 minutes to phone / text me instead of posting about me on WHT? Same situations. But because it's me yeah I could have done this, should have done that. Knownhost must be full of roses.

if anyone is having issues with blesta_cms not showing and showing 404 error instead

you might want to try this:

3. You need to then edit the `/config/routes.php`
Find:
```
if (file_exists(PLUGINDIR . "cms"))
	Router::route("^(?!" . $admin_loc . "|api|callback|cron|404|uploads|" . $client_loc . "|install|order|plugin|widget)", "/cms/main/index/$1");
```
Replace with:
```
if (file_exists(PLUGINDIR . "blesta_cms")){
	Router::route("^(?!" . $admin_loc . "|api|callback|cron|404|uploads|" . $client_loc . "|install|order|plugin|widget)", "/blesta_cms/main/index/$1");
}
```

I say the above because I got this part:

if (file_exists(PLUGINDIR . "cms"))

but I didn't notice the bolded part editing the file over putty

Router::route("^(?!" . $admin_loc . "|api|callback|cron|404|uploads|" . $client_loc . "|install|order|plugin|widget)", "/cms/main/index/$1");

so once I changed it to this:

Router::route("^(?!" . $admin_loc . "|api|callback|cron|404|uploads|" . $client_loc . "|install|order|plugin|widget)", "/blesta_cms/main/index/$1");

it worked I am hoping I help other people who either missed that since putty wasn't that big to see it or was tired and couldn't notice that until looking at the readme again lol

You have to uninstall the Portal plugin also when installing BlestaCMS plugin then edit the routes, the instructions are in the ReadMe.txt that comes with the plugin, in 1.2.4 we will look into having the replacement of this line automated.

 

*update* 1.2.4 WILL automate this task on install and uninstall so this issue will no longer be encountered.

Hello,

Got an e-mail informing me that LicenseCart has been acquired.

E-mail in full to follow:

Hello,

I would like to sincerely apologize to you for any licensing issues you may have experienced in the past couple months and for the delayed ticket responses. I am however pleased to announce LicenseCart has since been acquired, and work has already begun on ensuring such issues no longer arise. One of the more popular requests I've seen is more automation modules ridding of manual license provisioning; this is something we're also working on over the next couple months.

For the most part, there are no planned changes to your account/licenses. This is limited to all Blesta and BlestaCMS licenses which are being transferred to Blesta Store (http://blesta.store/). Blesta Store is independent of Blesta and owned by Michael Dance, the founder of Licensecart. I expect this to be a smooth and timely transition which will not cause disruption. Another email will be sent out to all Blesta license holders shortly with more details. This does not mean Licensecart will not offer Blesta in the future.

I welcome you all to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I respond to every email and can be reached on alex@licensecart.com (or you can reply to this email)

Thank you, 

Alex Ali

I don't think anyone should trust Michael with blesta.store with how he dealt with license cart

Fair enough thanks have you even spoken to me or even worked with me or just that I made a big cockup and I shouldn't be trusted because I work full time to pay off SolusVM?

[silvatech]

Sadly, any licenses I had with license cart a long time ago I got rid of. As i soon found out talking with him on Skype that he is an immature young adult. In fact reading and seeing how he is handling this situation shows it. Clear sign to me was when I had a difference of an opinion with him on a WHT thread and he blocked me off of Skype. I hope whoever emailed me about taking over his company today Mike did not rip off on buying his company.

 

 

[Shane O-Mac]

Michael its more off the way you dealt with it, if you had kept people up to date then I don't think any differently of you but its how it was dealt with.

Yes I have worked with you a while back and I always did think License cart was better without you and the same with your hosting company you had.

it's only been without me now.... so "was better off without you" is incorrect. And I've worked long days and then slept, you try it try fitting everything in. I can't change the past but I can improve but yeah think what you want you don't know me nor do I know you, I can't remember talking to a Shane.

Except we got on well until you contradicted yourself, slagged Blesta off and kept telling me it was temporary until the domains was fixed. I don't talk to liars. If you disliked Blesta as you put on WHT why lie about it. But Paul hope you and you're wife are ok even if you hate me and call me immature....

Domains issue I had in Blesta is still their now so I am confused by your comment as that is promised in version 4.2. So my thoughts still remain the same. At the time of that post I no longer like the road Blesta taken instead of fixing what need more priority in my personal opinion.  So no lies simply Blesta did not deliver on what I feel are critical components to a hosting system. I gave it over a year and still never delivered. Your showing your immaturity right their thinking a comment on an software years later  on promise of what I was told by the developer did not pan out to mean someone is a liar? Sadly as much as I like certain components of Blesta it just never delivered.

Thank you for your comments of well being with my family. I don't hate you just feel your immature. In fact I wish you the best and hope the best for you.

Michael yet again your words show how much you actually other people's views off blesta and if I was Paul j would remove your reseller status based on how you talk to people on here.

Unfortunately, I really have to agree here. Just reading this thread, and some of the others around various forums have really made me start to question my gearing up to switch over to Blesta. I don't like paying for WHMCS especially after the price increases, but when you associate with people like Michael, it's really a big turnoff.

Hi, Just my own opinion, Licensecart is not affiliated with Blesta. I would not let that turn me off, It's a community, some people screw up and some learn from their mistakes and move on. If you wish to join Blesta don't hesitate.

all people has posted his opinion, is time to close this thread .
