Key already in use - How to prevent phoning home?

Post by UpgradeNAS » Sun Nov 11, 2012 11:59 am

After having a power cut, Twonky now gives the following error message under the Licence section:

"This key is already in use by another instance of the server."

If i re-enter my licence key, the boxes dissapear for a few seconds and then return with a slightly different message, rebooting the NAS brings back the above error.

How do I get this "reset"? I assume from reading other threads that Twonky is "phoning home", does anyone know where it's phoning to on Twonky 7.0.5 Special? - I've blocked 63.241.31.144 and 63.241.31.229 on my firewall but that doesn't stop it :(

Can anyone help?

I would contact twonky support, as there isnt much that can be done in that regard
one thing to check on the device thouhg, is to make sure its networking and dns servers/dn cachce isnt borked up
