Why was my UTILMD rejected? Each APERAK error, at its place in the original message.

Your messages and lists never leave this machine: the only network call is the licence check. Activation needs one connection to api.gumroad.com (through your VS Code proxy settings); after that, Pro works offline. No telemetry. The licence check carries the key and the product identifier, never a message, a list or their content.

Not affiliated with BDEW, EDI@Energy or BNetzA. EDI Reader Energie shows what a message contains and what an APERAK or CONTRL refers to; it does not check messages against the AHB. It recognises the message type, the format version and the Prüfidentifikator, and it shows where each APERAK or CONTRL error points in the original message.

Recognises UTILMD, MSCONS, APERAK, CONTRL, INVOIC, REMADV and other MaKo messages: message type, format version and Prüfidentifikator of each transaction, in the status bar and on hover. Warning when a message uses a format version that was not in force on its date (built-in table from BNetzA Mitteilung Nr. 56 and, for CONTRL, the BDEW MIG; extendable in Settings).

Free recognises every MaKo message, warns about a format version not in force, counts the errors of an APERAK or a CONTRL and says whether the original message is in the folder, and counts the differences between two messages and the rejections of a folder. Pro opens the original with each error marked, writes the rejection report (CSV, HTML), shows the comparison transaction by transaction, makes the anonymised copy, and includes EDI Reader Pro.

Not covered in this version: checks against the AHB or MIG (EDI Reader Energie shows what a message contains and what an APERAK or CONTRL refers to; it does not check messages against BDEW rules); built-in labels for Prüfidentifikatoren and APERAK codes (load your own list; no APERAK error-code list is published as a spreadsheet, so write a csv with the columns “Code” and “Beschreibung”); MIG/AHB XML files; format versions of INVOIC, REMADV and other types (add them in Settings); sending or receiving messages; the generic EDI Reader tree and hover are in English or French. Limits: files over 8 MB are not read, also with Pro; a search or a report counts them as not read and says the original message may be one of them. The search for an original message reads at most 2,000 files (closest modification date first). A rejection report reads at most 20,000 files (newest first) and gives the number of files it did not read.

One key for one person, on up to 5 machines. A machine is counted the first time the key is activated in a VS Code installation: a new computer, VS Code reinstalled with its data erased, or a non-persistent virtual desktop whose identifier changes. Entering the key again, trying again after a network error, removing and re-entering it on the same installation, or updating the extension uses nothing. New computer or VS Code reinstalled? Write to support@novair.app with your purchase e-mail and we reset the count.

Yearly subscription through Gumroad: cancel any time from Gumroad or by writing to support@novair.app; Pro stays active until the end of the paid year. Refund within 14 days of each payment, no questions asked, at support@novair.app.

The price is EUR 82.50 per year + VAT where applicable; Gumroad, merchant of record, shows the exact amount for your country at checkout. Need an invoice? Use the “Generate” link at the bottom of your Gumroad receipt: enter your name and business address, add what your accounts need under “Additional notes”, and download the PDF. An EU business that paid VAT can enter its VAT number there: Gumroad refunds the VAT and the invoice shows no VAT. Gumroad cannot change an invoice afterwards.

Updates come through your extension store (VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX) and are included while your subscription runs; a later version never takes away what your subscription unlocks.

Activation needs one connection to api.gumroad.com, through your VS Code proxy settings. If it cannot get through, the free version keeps working, and you can ask for a refund within 14 days at support@novair.app.
