I rarely use Wappler on my Mac, but tried opening it just now:
.. however, my subscription is active. I rebooted the computer and:
.. which makes more sense, though it didn't seem quite correct.
Anyway, it's not a problem because I can remove an installation in my Wappler account. I'm curious about how this works. This appeared in my account:
I haven't set foot in Reading for several years, though I go through it on a train from time to time. I can't imagine the installations are based solely on location. It would be more useful to have information about the computer, rather than the location.
Anyway, I can use Wappler on my Mac now, which, according to the installation page is located in London (but neither I nor my Mac are in London)...
The first message could happen when it failed to connect to our server, it then used the last stored response which probably was expired.
The location is based on the IP address and depends on how you are connected to the internet (for example using a VPN). My internet provider at home gives me a dynamic IP which also points to a different city than where I live.
The different installations are identified by a unique id from your OS, do you run Windows on your Mac?

I realise this happens, but was surprised that my Windows and Mac computers were given different locations. They're about a metre apart.

I usually use Wappler on Windows, but have it installed on a Mac too. It would be useful if the computer name were displayed as well, or instead of, the location, if it's available. It would be help identify the computers. I think I have Wappler installed on an old computer, but can't tell which from the location. (But it's not very important.)
We try to keep the data we collect to a minimum and a computer name could sometimes contain personal information. The location is retrieved from a geolocation database which isn't always very precise, we could have perhaps an option in Wappler to give a name to the current installation for identification.

That would be an improvement - but it's certainly not critical. I mainly mentioned this matter to point out the initial error message was confusing and offered no way to address the situation - eg to renew your subscription (just an 'OK' button).
Given the subscriber would be the only one viewing the information, I think using the computer name is the best solution. I would have thought it was usually used in such circumstances.
