Posted January 6, 201114 yr Hi all. I've just renewed my licence and went to activate the API Key for the Spam Monitoring Service but came across an issue. I logged into my client area and it says the spam service is active but i'm unable to obtain the key to put into the Admin CP. How can I obtain the spam key as I'm getting attacked by spam bots :( Any help/advice will be much appreciated :)
January 6, 201114 yr See if this helps. http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/322725-license-key-expired/
January 9, 201114 yr I'm seeing the same (or at least a similar) problem which is that my client area seemingly says nothing about generating an API key. My licence is up to date so it's not that; it's just that the instruction to "Find the section titled Create an IPS Spam Service key" seems to be more of a challenge than I'd expected. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.
January 9, 201114 yr A special API key for the apam service is no longer used, it is all tied to your license key now. Go to ACP -> License Key (Sub-menu of System Settings), and enter your license key.

January 9, 201114 yr Author Yeah it works a treat :) Was just lost as it didn't say what to do if you're already registered to use the Spam Monitoring System :rolleyes:
January 10, 201114 yr Prior to IP.Board 3.1 a separate license key was required for the spam service. Beginning with IP.Board 3.1, when you enter your IP.Board license key in the ACP it unlocks all of the additional features that come with your license (including the spam service, and IP.Chat access). If you are using 3.1, just enter your IP.Board license key, and then enable the spam service in the settings area.
January 11, 201114 yr Then why is the spam key box still there? Should be removed to avoid confusion.
January 19, 201114 yr I still use IPBoard 2.3.6 Do I need a Spam licence key? Greetings, Ruud No, you can't use the spam service with 2.3.6
February 4, 201114 yr Pleas update your site http://www.invisionpower.com/products/spammonitor/ The information is missguiding. Spam monitor is easy to use and a good feat. But the info on your site is hard to understand :) Thx /A

Was there some specific part of that page that made this overview hard to understand?
February 5, 201114 yr I see what's going on there. Clicking the "Get Started" button shows a popup with outdated information. I've added a task to our internal list to have that looked at, thanks for bringing it to our attention. :)
