Hi there,
after installing the latest Update of CF 6 (Last Updated Apr 24, 2023 21:38) my Installation on J3.0.11 suddenly is not validated anymore and the global validation key from my Account here is not accepted for Validation ("Validation error, you have provided incorrect data."). How can I get my Installation become validated again?
Cheers
Christian
What is the component version shown in your extensions manager ?

Hi, Chris, you should check the year you validated certain domain and bought the keys. If it is erlier than 2019 (if I remember correctly) it will not validate.
Remember, we all promised that we buy new keys if Max will develop CF6&CCV6 for Joomla 4 and PHP 8? Please, do that.
This is the message for ALL CF6 community - please, support Max for his work.
Thank you!

Well, at least this is an explanation. The keys are from 2018 and I didn't know that this limitation is for CF6 as well.
Thanks for the answer.

Hi Christian,
The limitation is for the latest v6.2 for J4/PHP8
But this is not the case here I think because the error you receive, Validation error, you have provided incorrect data., is not the error you get if it's because of that limitation.

Max,
Couple of days ago I got the same error for the domain I validated in 2018. With the new key purchased in 2022 everything worked.
Mybe the case is different but error message sounded the same (cannot recall exactly).

Hi Max,
I installed the last Version with php8-compatibility (J4). My plan was to update Chronoforms to be compatible to php8, upgrade the webspace to php8 and lateron upgrade J3 to J4. The download-page states that the last CF6 version for J3 is neither compatible to the latest J3 nor to php8 so this wasn't an option obviously.
Maybe I did wrong and the J4 Version isn't compatible to J3 at all (while the backend and the forms display well in J3, just without being validated anymore).
So my CF6 component version is 6.2. Furthermore the message displayed when I try to validate without success said, that the validation of CF7 isn't possible with keys older than 2019. It didn't mention CF6 - that's why I asked here. I have no problem to rebuy the keys, if it is made sure the support for CF6 will be given for the next php-Versions and I won't face this situation again when php8 is EOL and again no upgrade of php is possible without breaking CF or even Joomla. It's also no Problem to upgrade to CF7 if there was an upgrade path for some more or less complex forms without having to rebuild everything from scratch.
Thanks a lot for your work!
Cheers
Chris
Ok, so if the error is about the order date then you will need a new order.
The issue is that the latest v6.2 update uses the v7 core library which is PHP8 ready, and the v7 core library requires the 2019 or later order to validate, and so v6.2 does the same.
