  1. Good day.

    Unfortunately, it means that this version of the firmware has been blocked for your device by epson.

    In order to restore usual functionality you can use free recovery mode firmware in WIC.

    1. First enable firmware for fixing recovery mode in the settings (main menu > file > settings).
    2. Start the printer in the recovery mode.
    3. In the new combo box under `Fix Recovery Mode` section (the last one) select your printer's model.

  3. It seems that archive from the link you provided contains old version of the application (5.40), this link will be fixed, correct version (5.59) is the one I provided above:

    Actual activation sequence is generated remotely, license.exe only exchanges data between the printer and the server. Even if it wasn't the case, activation data must be written to the printer somehow, it would be useless if we just send it in the email.


  4. Good day.

    According to the virus total both WICReset installer and executable file are clean:

    you can download the files and check that SHA-251 from the scan results matches file hash or just rescan it yourself again.

    If you got different results on your local PC, please, try to update antivirus databases first and check again. If this does not help then report what type of the antivirus you are using and what message exactly it shows.

    As for the license.exe I scanned extracted executable and got 2 out of 69 (SecureAge Apex and DrWeb):

    in my experience Apex produces a lot of false results especially if application is not signed, in the current results it shows that application is "malicious" without listing any specific threats. Actually it does this after every single update and this is the main reason why activator is encrypted.

    Anyway I will send false positive reports for license.exe to both of them and I hope it will be cleared soon.
