TS3 Server 3.1 - New Accounting / License System!

[h1web]

Greetings ATHP,

This message is to inform you of upcoming changes and improvements to TeamSpeak's licensing and accounting systems which will allow us to more effectively mitigate piracy and illegitimate host providers. Below are some key updates with more details to follow in the coming months.

New Accounting server protocol and destination
TeamSpeak Server 3.1, currently scheduled for beta release in mid-September 2017, will communicate with a new accounting server over a new protocol using HTTPS. The new accounting server will be available under a different domain name so will require changes to your firewall rules.

HTTP Proxy support
As an new optional feature, the new accounting server will now work with a HTTP proxy. TeamSpeak servers will be able to contact the new accounting server over a HTTP proxy that could run on a different machine. If this is done, the proxy machine will need to contact the accounting server, and the ts3server will only need to be able to contact the HTTP proxy. Note that the HTTP proxy implementation currently does not allow authentication so the ts3server will not be able supply a username/password to the HTTP proxy.

New Licenses
With the new accounting server, we have also be updating your license keys. The new license will be similar to the current license but will now contain additional information. All licenses that are valid prior to the release of TeamSpeak Server 3.1 will be replaced with a new license format. The update process should be seamless to you as TeamSpeak servers will download the replacement license automatically.

Clients will eventually no longer support pre-3.1 servers
Following the release of TeamSpeak Server 3.1, we plan to modify the TeamSpeak 3 clients such that they will no longer be able to connect to older version servers. We will provide sufficient time for host providers to make the necessary updates.

We strongly suggest all ATHPs download and test the beta release of TeamSpeak 3 Server 3.1 when it is announced and available. Public release is currently scheduled for 2 to 3 weeks following the beta announcement.

Thank you,
TeamSpeak

Officially the teamspeak3 will fall if the license prices continue to be so high

 

[Gendos]

it's very bad
I believe in r4p3 power dev.

 

[Dorde]

what is with npl Licenses?

 

[Kleberstoff]

Mind adding a source? I mean, I've heard it before - would be just nice to have the full text.

 

[TotoIsBack]

A nice boost for discord incoming ?

 

[h1web]

It was sent through eMail by Teamspeak.

This would probably kill the Emulator crack. If only there were some alternatives.

 

[MrWolf]

Cracks will always be here, will see when that licensing system comes to life

 

[Supervisor]

I just finished the crack script for the new server

 

[Gendos]

I just finished the crack script for the new server

wow!
They release alpha version?

 

[Supervisor]

not yet. But we are ready if they decide to do so.

 

[LetsBlade]

not yet. But we are ready if they decide to do so.

How can you Programm for Something what is not there?

//edit: Maybe they Programm in a Complete other Method then you thought? :3

 

[Supervisor]

@LetsBlade this is getting offtopic, but the script doesnt require the actual files. It only downloads them and copies them into the correct place. At least this is the simple explanation.

 

[elko]

Wow Supervisor...
you are so smart... do you even know that the TEAM MESMERiZE don't exist anymore.
So not a new crack from them and only one who cracked the server before. I talked with one of the leaders.
And now you're so happy to release you're new crack script to replace what? - a not existing crack for not existing server.

 

[Supervisor]

do you even know that the TEAM MESMERiZE don't exist anymore.

yes

[...] only one who cracked the server before.

this is not correct. We published our own cracks in the VIP section of R4P3. This crack does not require and Accounting server and also doesnt require hosts file changes. This crack is also in no way related to the crack from Team MESMERiZE

I talked with one of the leaders

I did, too.

happy to release you're new crack script to replace what? - a not existing crack for not existing server.

Although the Alpha is not released yet, the new license system may not even concern us. With that beeing said, another possibility may be that we are not able to crack the new servers easily, if at all - you are correct.

Anyways, we (R4P3) do not have any validated information about the release of a teamspeak server with a new license system.

I am very sad about this news, and unfortunately I am not sleeping for 2 days and very stressed about it, one thing that I work with teamspeak and use pirate licenses, I will be unemployed and with bills to pay.

It would be cool to launch a sponsored campaign so the forum team try to break the license, each company helps with a little cash to keep the team work, I am willing to financially support.

I won't get more free time just because People throw money at me. I'm quite positive about a new crack though.

At least they pay you

 

[latters]

I did not mention names, I just want to help the project continue, if it were not for the cracked servers, teamspeak would not be popular software nowadays, because if you depend exclusively on the company that charges an abusive price for each slot sold, The software would not be so popular since the price of the servers would have up to 5 times or more the value of a cracked server.
