6Delta75 reacted to Joe C Wilson in Failed to Verify Version for Ultimate BackupThe way BejoIjo coded his modifications, he can force disable his modifications (including paid versions of Patreon). This is done through the checker that runs in his modifications. If there is a failure to establish the connection to the server, he could shut it off regardless. It's common for modifications to require an internet connection, but the fact BejoIjo can disable the plugin functionally is concerning. This is referred to as a "kill switch". I have used his plugins for many years but discovering he codes his modifications this way makes me want to consider putting his plugins in the recycle bin.
TLDR: If you can’t connect to the internet, if you’re on an old version, or simply if the server host is down the plugin will be disabled.
This situation in retrospect is sketchy. He adds a checker capable of disabling functionally and then takes an extended leave of absence from the modding community.
Who truly knows how long his coding had these functionalities? It's not one I trust anymore. Time to find an alternative plugin to play LSPDFR I suppose.
