API Key changes after reboot

Post by nl05369 »

Hello,

I am using SABnzbd 2.3.7 [7a8df5e] on Windows 10 Pro PC.
I use Sickbeard for series management.
Almost every time I reboot, SABnzbd gets a new API key.
So when this happens, Sickbeard cannot use SABnzbd any more (incorrect API key).

I have absolutely no idea why this happens, and have been searching a while.
Can anyone shed any light?

thanks in advance

Weird. All other settings (like newsservers) are unchanged / kept after a reboot?

Can you find sabnzbd.ini, and then api_key ... ? Does it change after a reboot?

Hi,
I installed using the windows exe installer. I have upgraded several times to newer versions.
Cheers
