Alexander, Unfortunately maxmind have changed their rules and as per AdamW's notification in the geoipupdate message for version 4.1.5_1, https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net/geoipupdate/files/pkg-message.in?view=markup advises to go to https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup to create an account, then you will need to go to (I think it was) "My Licence" where you provide a key description (you enter text) and then you will need to generate a key. Adam advises to go to https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/155743/license-key for the licence, but that is actually his account number (155743), which I would suggest is inappropriate. (Adam!) ;) I have walked through the steps, and the account setup involves providing you email address, to which additional details are sent for the account creation process. Once done, you acquire the key. Once you login to your account, you will notice a number at the end of the url, after accounts/ (see above) that is your account information that you plug into your geoipupdate.conf file, and you'll need your licence key as well. Its a little convoluted, but it also provides a config file segment which you can conveniently cut/paste. Regards, Dewayne. PS our version of geoipupdate doesn't provide a version number, but the current version is 4.1.5_1, anything after 3.1.1 should work as described, if earlier, the account creation process will advise. So it continues to work.
