There is currently a problem with activating MangAI licenses. When trying to run the program, you will get an error that the license could not be activated.
I will fix this as soon as I can. Sorry for the inconvenience.
-Update-
I tracked down the issue to the licensing server. I recently had to upgrade the server’s PHP version to be compatible with the latest version of WordPress, but that seems to have broken some of the licensing server’s code. I will post again when this has been fixed.
The documentation for MangAI says that it needs at least Java 8 installed, but this is not correct. You will get a runtime error if you use a version of Java prior to 10.
If you haven’t already, please make sure to update your Java to at least version 11. There is a newer version, Java 12, available; I prefer using 11 as it is the current long-term support version (ie it should be the most stable), but either 11 or 12 is fine. MangAI will also run on Java 10, but as that Java version has been made obsolete, you should update to avoid potential security issues.
Download Java from Oracle: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Note that if you want to download a version of Java prior to 12, you will have to sign up for a free Oracle account.
Sorry for the confusion. Please contact me if you have any problem with MangAI or updating Java.
The SSL update is complete.
MangAI has been updated to be compatible with SSL. This update is mandatory in order to continue using online features of MangAI, including requesting a trial license, activating a full or trial license, and checking for updates. Older versions of MangAI will give error messages when trying to use these features.
Download the latest version from the MangAI project page.
I am currently working on adding SSL to this site to improve security. During this time, some site features may not be available.
MangAI may have trouble talking with the licensing server. Full license users should not be affected since their license only requires activation once per program version. Trial users, however, may not be able to use the program until SSL integration is complete. Checking for updates may also not work.
I will post again when everything is working correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Happy 2019!

If your ereader is not already included, feel free to email me and I will add it. I had never heard of the Kindle Oasis until someone requested a profile for it. I recommend all Kindle users try both pdf and mobi formats to see which you prefer. Both output formats are enabled by default for this purpose.
