If you load a premium plugin, in most cases you would see this error: ```java [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] ============================================= [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] License Validation Failed! [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] ============================================= [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] Lectern is a premium plugin made by Lodestone! [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] After purchasing Lectern, whitelist your server at https://lode.gg/plugin/lectern/configure [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] Purchase Lectern at https://lode.gg/lectern/observer [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] Your Detected Server Address: 192.xx.xxx.xx:25555 [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] ============================================= ``` Once you launch an unauthorized server, our verification logger will notify you, as well as give you the detected ip and port. ```java [01:08:02 ERROR]: [Lectern] Your Detected Server Address: 192.xx.xxx.xx:25555 ``` Copy the exact IP and port and head over to our Whitelist Dashboard! # Step By Step Tutorial ## Step 1: Our Dashboard We have a dedicated dashboard that allows you to create servers that allows you to easily whitelist the same server towards multiple plugins that you may own! Start by entering our dashboard via https://lode.gg/me/servers After that, feel free to take a look around! ## Step 2: Create a "New Server" At the top right, find the "+ New Server" button. ![[Pasted image 20260614201253.png]] Below a drop down will appear with 3 fields: - Name of your server - IP of your server (Do NOT use a masked IP or domain) - Port your server is attached to ![[Pasted image 20260614202104.png]] After that, you will create an entry that can be located in the dashboard: ![[Pasted image 20260614202144.png|440]] ## Step 3: Whitelisting a Server You can whitelist your server by grabbing the node on the right side of your server. Then drag and bring that node over to the plugin you want to whitelist. ![[Pasted image 20260614202258.png]] After you're done, you've connected your server over to your plugin! ![[Pasted image 20260614202341.png]] ## Optional Step 4: Unwhitelisting a Server You have 3 servers maximum to whitelist. If you need more, you can request to whitelist for upwards to 5 servers at a time. Otherwise, you can sever the connection by right clicking the node string below: ![[Pasted image 20260614202455.png]] Or, you can just delete the server located over at the plugin's card: ![[Pasted image 20260614202604.png]]
