I am trying to use a nulled version of Media Gallery on a legit licensed XF. After installing the nulled Media Gallery, I get a message in the ACP that I am not authorized to use Media Gallery. Huge pia to get the nulled Media Gallery off but finally did.

Question, is there a way to keep the legit licensed XF from detecting this or, do I need to install a nulled XF on top of my licensed version?
Is XF doing a "phone home" somewhere?

if you use some legit xf they do some update check with your licence on xenforo,com (call home), bad idea use some nulled addons

SNap!can you show me how to null out that "phone home" ? btw: this Media Gallery is the only nulled version that was detected. I have several others and all are working fine.

            $failed = $check ? false : true;

            return $this->redirect($this->buildLink('tools/upgrade-check', null, ['failed' => $failed]));

Got it installed, added a photo with no problems but when I click the media dropdown New Content or New Comments I get:

I'm not sure if I grabbed the wrong version of Media Gallery but will investigate unless someone has an idea of whats wrong.
Thank you again, and again for your help

SNap!will remove and see if I can find another perhaps later version.
Yep... old version was buggy. Installed XenForo Media Gallery 2.2.4 and all is fine and working.

Do we need a copy of this 2.2.4 version here? If so, let me know and I'll upload
