The unlock codes are tied to your product key, and you can’t pass on a product key to anyone else if you’re continuing to use it yourself.

Given that Serif has long abandoned the 'old' products and provides a universal registration key, I don't see that passing on a product key from a purchased product would be a problem.

I had to reinstall MPX6 some time ago and for some reason (I can't remember details) several of the codecs were locked. My brother extracted these from his installation and I used the file to update the registry on my machine. I also used his product key. Both were original purchases from Serif so were quite legit.

How long have you used one.com?  Do you think the SSL will fix my problem?

Sorry, only just seen your questions.

I have used one.com for around 14 years. Very professional but maybe not the cheapest - this year's renewal is £85.04 including the domain name.

I am not an expert by any means but I would think that using SSL would solve your problem. I know that typing http://cowleyfamily.org.uk or just cowleyfamily.org.uk (my family history website) always defaults to https://.

Hope this helps.

One of my sites is listed on Google as http: rather than https: .. Not sure what I can do about this .. would a redirect to https:  work?

What happens if you type https:// followed by your website name? I'm assuming, from what you have said, that this will not work and that you will either get an error or a redirect to http://. (If I use http:// to access my site it immediately changes to https://.)

You need to contact your web host as you will need an SSL certificate. Mine is provided FOC by one.com but it is possible that you may have to pay for it.

I am so glad to have found this forum. Thanks for setting it up and thanks for letting me in, Alfred

On your host server you will see a file named WebPlusDb.txt. My undertsanding is that WP uses this file to decide which files need uploading when you update (incremental update) or add a new page to your site. Over time this file seems to become somewhat bloated - when I looked at mine a few days ago it was something like 14Mb - and the update becomes ever more time consuming. My workaround is to periodically rename WebPlusDb.txt as WebPlusDb.old. (This is a backup in case anything goes wrong.)

WebPlusDb.txt no longer exists on the server so WP rebuilds it progressively as you make changes or additions to your site. My current manifest file size is just over 800 bytes as I've only made a few changes to the website. The downside is that an incremental update will effectively be a full update first time round but the gain is that the manifest update is almost instantaneous.

Hope this helps.

My website is hosted by one.com and SSL is enabled free of charge by default on all domains registered with them. Web address is always preceded by https. Would be worth asking your hosting company what they do.

I also use WordPress and for that there is a free plug-in - Really Simple SSL.
