Bill Bundle Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) I've been using a small free program called hostess that edits the Windows host file. The host file is somewhat like a firewall in that it can block outgoing requests from programs that you are running. With the correct URL for the program you are running, you can block the program's request to contact its publisher's website for license verification. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFJ54yOuQGg Hostess http://download.freewarefiles.com/files/hostess41.zip Prank - Using the Windows hosts file to redirect sites to another http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=RrFg5OZX8lk&feature=endscreen Edited December 1, 2012 by Bill Bundle johnbest and bobaloo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxNewbie Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I just use Notepad text editor. The trick is to save-as "hosts" then shift+enter keys. Easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bundle Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Was it of any help with Amibroker? Thanks I don't know what the URL for Amibroker or Amiquote is. If you find a URL that works in the host file, let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this been tested for using AmiQuote? If we put this into the host file, can we use AmiQuote to download stock quotes and not get a license error?

derik Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks. Has this been tested for using AmiQuote? If we put this into the host file, can we use AmiQuote to download stock quotes and not get a license error? Bill have not used amiquote ,but amibroker version 5.3 works just fine with real time data from local provider although I cannot access any amibroker sites now. regards derik .

P.S Just wondering why I dont get price alerts ? Does this block every web browser or just Internet Explorer? Have you tried it using FireFox or GoogleChrome?
