#Mediashout time and date error software
When you write software for churches it has to work every Sunday. Our kids wanted to take the grandparents to a train museum/restaurant for lunch so I stopped working and had a great time with the family before coming back around 4pm to give it another go.īy 10pm we were back in business and things today are working as they should. The installer would fail at different points each time I tried it on our various presentation and back office machines. In my case I started working on the problem during the rest of the game and realized that this wasn’t going to be a quick fix. (Some churches even have services where they use this software on Saturday nights.) A quick check of Twitter indicates that many ministries opted to forgo MediaShout completely and go old school back to PowerPoint or some other creatively engineered solution as time didn’t allow them to fix the problem in just 48 hours with 24 of those hours being a Saturday.
#Mediashout time and date error Patch
To their credit MediaShout did release a patch however the patch was less than simple for many to install. However, when your activation routine prevents EVERYONE, legal and illegal, from using your program then you have completely missed the boat. I understand, to some degree, the need for software companies to have activation routines in order to prevent software piracy and theft. As a result the software was released with a time/date bug that on a Thursday night, software that is used at churches all over the country on Sunday would stop working because it couldn’t tell if the software was legally activated or not. It would appear that some software engineer somewhere along the way didn’t do this job and then the quality assurance person who is supposed to help the software engineer get it right also failed to do their job.
#Mediashout time and date error license
Since they don’t go into any great detail to explain the actual issue that gives me license to explain it the way I see it.

The details of this issue, affecting all instances of MediaShout are available here. The lead story is about the Activation Error that we were getting.

As any IT person does, I Googled the problem and the first hit I got was this link. I wasn’t able to figure out his problem via text message so I headed towards his office thinking it would be a relatively quick fix. MediaShout is presentation software that we use in all of our worship spaces for projection graphics, background, lyrics, etc. As I’m cheering Eric on our worship pastor texts me a picture of an error message he is getting with MediaShout on his office computer. Eric was playing well and the family was enjoying the game and the sunshine despite the cool, breezy weather. I started the day at the soccer field with our son, 2 sets of grandparents and 1 set of great-grandparents. Yesterday was one of those days where my schedule, along with that of our worship pastor, was majorly disrupted by someone failing to do their job with a piece of software we use that is critical for our Sunday operation. Every once in a while a software program, and those who write it, have the opportunity to really mess with your life.
