Hacking if your sd card corrupts with sx pro is there way get your license.dat back?

You could try doing the license request again if it let's you.

Yup, that's probably how it works. License tied to your console ID, and it will just generate a new license if you submit that request again.

U can use any sd card so best to save license.dat in multiple places such as online storage also save the license request the pro creates incase pro breaks.

Untested Script:

var LICENCE_CODE = "CHANGE-THIS-TO-CODE";
function fileSelected(o) {
    $(o).parent().parent().find('.form-control').html($(o).val().split(/[\\|/]/).pop());
    hideError();

    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = function() {
        var arrayBuffer = this.result;
        bytes = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
        csr_data = '';
        for(i=0; i<bytes.length; i++) {
            csr_data += ("0" + bytes[i].toString(16)).substr(-2);
        }

        if (csr_data.substr(0x40, 0x40) == "0".repeat(0x40)) {
            $("#license-code-form").show();
        } else {
            $("#license-code-form").hide();
            get_license(csr_data, LICENCE_CODE);
        }
    }
    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(o.files[0]);
}

Copy the above, change LICENCE_CODE go to https://sx.xecuter.com/sxos-license.html, press F12, click "Console" tab, paste the code with your changed "LICENCE_CODE", press enter to execute.
Now, click "Browse" button and load your licence-request.dat which can be re-gotten when booting SX OS without a license.dat
It SHOULD give you the license.dat that you previously had
(Remember, its untested, if something goes wrong, lmk)

Oh my, why so complicated?
In the idiotic case one looses his license.dat and has no secure backup, SX OS will create a new request file everytime a SD is inserted w/o the license.

This way you can get your license as often as you like. I tried it 3 times w/o any issue.
Easiest and smartest way is to backup your tiny file

 

[Majortaylor]

Just back it up. Also you can Indeed just use the website again to request the license by uploading the request.dat

I bought my license online. It asks you to enter a serial and if you are online, it will create the file on your sd card.

 

[castdreams]

You should be able to go back onto the website and get your license.dat again, I don't think there's a limit to how many times it can be downloaded. Otherwise I would suggest keeping a backup. I've got mine backed up on my PC and OneDrive.

May I ask what is the point in doing this? Wont doing the license request normally be the same?
