Volvo Vida stopped working and you cannot login?
If your new installation of Volvo Vida (2012 up to 2014D) does not work – you cannot log in, after fresh and proper installation. Or your existing installation stopped working… well this is because patched license has expired recently (like in 1.1.2018).
Download “patch” (2014A+) that you usually have to apply after installation of Vida, and extract “exe” file to C:\ drive (or wherever is your Vida) – do not run it, just extract it (with WinRar, 7zip etc). This exe file is just self extracting archive with post extract script.
You should have those files, after extracting:

Now the “license” file is in C:\VIDA\patch\. Look inside of it for a string:
subscriptionExpireDate=”2017-12-31 23:59:59″
Looks suspicious in year 2018?
- just change the date in license file
- make sure VidaMonitor and all java instances are off (javaw etc),
- and execute filldb.cmd,
- reboot and you are good to go!
If this doesn’t work – you probably did not kill VidaMonitor or Jboss/Java.
Good luck and fruitful hacking! 馃檪
You can edit your old patch as well. Patch files must be excecuted on C:\ (not on C:\Vida)
Patch, after you execute it, deletes all files after applying them. So of course you can use your old patch archive (if you have one, you don’t need to download new one), but you should not have required files in you C:\VIDA\patch folder. And you can’t “execute” patch – you have to unpack it. Inside archive you already have “VIDA” folder – so yes, it has to be extracted to C:\ (or any other proper drive).
