The Internet connection error of AMSSE and AMSBE

Dear users,

***************** Updated @ Feb 16, 2020: This Problem Is Fixed On the Server Side, No Any Further Action Needed, Just Ignore Below Text *****************

Recently (since Jan 27, 2020), you may get the error about verifying license key, checking connection / new version, getting server date, etc. All about the Internet connection.

All are caused by the encryption protocol of AMS official site is upgraded to TLSv1.3 due to TLSv1.0 is deprecated in most web browsers, such as Firefox, Chrome, etc. And AMSSE / AMSBE cannot use HTTPS to get the data from URLs.

Anyway, we are very sorry for this issue.

It is gratifying that we noticed and resolved the issue in time.

Here is the solution:
*** Please download AMSSE/ AMSBE from the official site and reinstall it (no version update, just a little default setting changes).
Note: before install them, please kill/stop the related process/service in Windows Task Manager (name: AMSSE*, AMSBE*, Auto Mail Sender*).

*** Maybe need some settings changes:

** Open folder:
AMSBE: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\TriSun_Software\Auto_Mail_Sender_Birthday*
AMSSE: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\TriSun_Software_Limited\Auto_Mail_Sender_Standard*
If there are more than one #.#.##.# sub folders under it, delete all the old version folders.

** And then enter the current version folder, open user.config by Notepad:

Delete all settings that name like “u_*” and value is a URL (if have).

FYI: A fully setting like (please delete all the 3 rows for ONE setting):
<setting name=”****” serializeAs=”String”>
<value>False</value>
</setting>
Note: usually, the user.config file is OK, no action needed.

How to upgrade AMS Birthday Edition v1.11- to v1.20?

Since Auto Mail Sender Birthday Edition had upgraded to version 1.20, some users encountered a problem during upgrade to the latest version (v1.20).
The issue is: AMS Birthday Edition always prompts user to upgrade version when it starts.

The reason and solution as below:

1.11- versions are portable software.
1.20 is not again.

Please follow below steps to update it:

1. Copy out your old database (amsbe.db) from old version (portable version, in a folder you placed).
2. Delete, rename or backup the old version.
3. Download the latest version, install it, copy the backup file (amsbe.db) to its folder (right-click the shortcut, and open file location).
4. Last: make sure the shortcut under the Startup menu points to the new version (right-click it and see the [Target] field). If not, delete the startup shortcut and reinstall the latest version.

Hope this can help you.

How do our emailing software start automatically?

Hello everyone,

For AMS File Edition:

The installers of our emarketing software will put a shortcut of the executable file to your ‘Startup’ menu under ‘Start -> All Programs’, does not change your Registry or system settings.

So, it has the ability to start automatically, to keep this, please do not delete this shortcut.

For AMS Standard and Birthday Editions:

The sender is running as a Windows Service, and set as automatic running.

Just ignore that and no setting needed, it will work always.
