XEvil Demo, program work is suspended, Image decoding is stopped

 I downloaded Xevil Demo version just now and I configured it. However, when I try to test it out I get an error  : program work is suspended, Image decoding is stopped.  I;m using it as a combo with GS Captchas. Everything looks green on the Xevil monitor section. Below are log that shows in Xveill settings

Could anyonon tell me what is wrong? I'd like to test the service before prd-order 7 or buying a paid 6 version.

Also use GSA CAPTCHA and see  I get error

    Thanks for checking in. I initially figured out that it wasn't running because I hadn't added the IPs to the host. However, the issue now seems to be related to using the demo version. It's quite frustrating that every two minutes, it stops and pops up a reminder that I'm on the demo, requiring me to click "Okay" each time to keep it going. Eventually, I just stopped using it.

    I'm not sure what the creator's intent is here. I was actually considering pre-ordering the upcoming Xeveil 7, but I wanted to test this version first. Unfortunately, this experience has made me think twice now I'll have to reconsider ten times before committing to Xeveil.

  • I guess everyone on this forum agrees that XEvil is the best captcha solver software for more than just image captchas.

    XEvil 7 should be released soon - I've paid for the beta access last year and am used to their timelines ...

    It could be best  but my point is what  creator wants to acheive? Demo already have lots of limits and on top of that if it pop out every mint or  two how the tester will determine it's performence ?

    You know it's your call end of the day. 

    Are there any alternatives to using xevil? Aside from paid captcha solving services - no there aren't. Alternatives will cost you more.

    You are using a demo version. That's how they designed it. It's for testing. Not for testing the entire software - but some of the software. But yes, the demo version is pretty crap. I suspect that if they gave a 7 day trial version with full access to the software, it would get abused by those free users who don't want to pay.

    Personally, I don't think you have a choice. If you want to build links and save money on captcha solving, then you need to get xevil. Just for image captcha solving it's great. Recaptcha works great too. Hopefully we'll have cloudflare solving as well on the new version.

    Otherwise don't get it, and use paid services like 2captcha instead. See how much that costs you after 6 months.

    Or just run your tools without any captcha solving at all. That will be the cheapest option! But see how far that gets you with rankings and traffic.

    Like I said, you don't have a choice if you want to engage in automated link building.

    Hopefully XEvil will be able to solve h-captcha in new version as it sucks at the moment. But like you said there is no alternative to XEvil closest one would be Capmonster pro but still far inferior but for annual fee still cheapest compared to all human captcha services.

    Hcaptcha was an important one. Lost a lost of sites since that hcaptcha solving stopped working. Even paid services don't solve them either.

    I think they've permanently given up support for it as they had to keep updating software every other day to keep up with changes from hcaptcha. It became too labour intensive for them.
