Solution: Evernote Sticky Notes Could Not Create SSL/TLS Secure Channel Error 411 On User Account Activation

14/05/201720/09/2023 Simon Windows

Issue

A week ago I started getting Synchronization Failed error messages in Evernote Sticky Notes for Windows, which meant my Sticky Notes stopped being synced to Evernote server and consequently across all of my devices.

I have tried removing my Evernote user account in the settings menu of the Evernote Sticky Notes application in order to fix the issue. When trying to activate my user account again by clicking on the Request activation link button, the dreaded “The remote server returned an error: (411) Length Required” error message came up.

Update (20 September 2023): A few days ago a new error message started appearing – “The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel” because Evernote dropped support for older TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 security protocols on their servers.

I have tried uninstalling the Sticky Notes, cleaning the register, re-installing an older version of the software but nothing solved the mentioned problem. Sticky Notes would only synchronize with Dropbox or Google Drive but not with Evernote.

I use Evernote Sticky Notes on a daily basis and since developers at Edo-Soft no longer actively maintain it, I have decided to repair it myself and offer an updated authentication library (DLL) file for download on this blog.

If you would like, you can skip technical writing and go straight to the solution.

The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel error

As a safety feature, Evernote incorporates an authorization / authentication process, through which, applications such as Evernote Sticky Notes need to go, in order to allow them access to Evernote accounts on users behalf. The mentioned process is called an OAuth flow and it uses OAuth authorization framework to enable applications a limited access to a HTTP service such as Evernote Cloud API.

A correct authorization process should work like this – When user clicks on the “Request activation link” button, Evernote Sticky Notes application requests a temporary token from the Evernote server, using a GET request method. After it receives the temporary token from the Evernote server, it creates a unique activation link to the Evernote authorization page, using the mentioned token. User clicks on the link and is redirected to Evernote authorization page where he grants the Sticky Notes application, access to his account for the limited time period (1 year maximum). After granting access, user receives another token in the form of a verification code, displayed on the Evernote authorization page. User then copies the received code into the verification code window in the Evernote Sticky Notes application. Application uses this token (valid for 1 year) every time it connects to the Evernote server in order to gain access and synchronize notes to the cloud.

The issue with the Evernote Sticky Notes application is that it uses an outdated OAuth library (DLL) file which prevents it to communicate with the Evernote server correctly and thus cannot request a temporary token from it. User sees this only as a “https://” text where an activation link should be, since the application is unable to create an activation link without the temporary token.

Solution

I was able to fix an outdated OAuth authentication library file by decompiling it, updating the source code and recompiling it. Evernote Sticky Notes now communicates with the Evernote server correctly. It is once again able to request a temporary token and thus complete an activation process successfully.

Update (20 September 2023): Recently Evernote dropped support for older TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 security protocols on their servers which lead to “Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel” errors in Evernote Sticky Notes so I had to modify one additional file – StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config. The security protocol is now chosen by the operating system instead of the app and the synchronization works once again.

Below are instructions for replacing an outdated authentication library (DLL) and the StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config files with an updated versions, available for download on this blog. Updated files are compatible with Evernote Sticky Notes v1.5.9, which is the latest available version of Sticky Notes. If Evernote Sticky Notes v1.5.9 application is not already installed on your computer, download / (alernative download link) and install it before following instructions below.

*If you would prefer to synchronize your Evernote Sticky Notes with Chinese version of Evernote – Yinxiang Biji (印象笔记), please follow this instructions instead.

1. Download and unzip the updated files

An updated authentication library (.dll file) and the StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config files are compressed inside a .zip file. Click on the link below to download Evernote-Sticky-Notes-Modified-Files-GetGui.zip file to your computer. After the file is downloaded, you will need to unzip it in order to extract the files. If you are using Windows, right click on the downloaded Evernote-Sticky-Notes-Modified-Files-GetGui.zip and select “Extract All…”. A new folder will appear, with the StickyNotes.OAuth.dll and StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config files inside it. Do not change the filenames – the names of the files should remain as they are.

- Evernote-Sticky-Notes-Modified-Files-GetGui.zip (Downloaded 6484 times)

*File is hosted on Dropbox. If link doesn’t work, please contact me at info@getgui.com.

2. Close the Evernote Sticky Notes application

Evernote Sticky Notes application needs to be closed before following the next step. Make sure it is not running, by going to the taskbar and searching for the Evernote Sticky Notes icon. If the icon is present in the taskbar, right-click on it and click on “Exit”. Click “Yes” on the Exit application confirmation dialog.

Closing Evernote Sticky Notes application from taskbar

3. Replace an outdated files

Go to the folder where you have saved the new StickyNotes.OAuth.dll and StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config files, right-click on the two files and choose “Copy”. Now go to the folder where your Evernote Sticky Notes is installed, by default that’s in “C:\Program Files\Evernote Sticky Notes\” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote Sticky Notes\” on 64 bit operating systems.
Right-click on the empty space inside the installation folder and choose “Paste”. The “file replacement” or “file overwrite” confirmation dialog should open, asking if you would like to replace the files in the destination. Choose to replace the files in the destination. Restart your computer.

4. Activate your user account in Evernote Sticky Notes application

Open Evernote Sticky Notes application. Go to “Settings” and make sure that under the “Please select the account type you want to synchronize your notes with” Evernote is selected. Click on the “Request activation link” button. A working activation link should now be displayed. Click on it and follow directions on the Evernote website to Re-authorize Sticky Notes to access your account for a period of 1 year. Copy the received verification code and paste it inside the verification code window in the Evernote Sticky Notes application. Click on the “Complete activation” button.

You have now successfully linked Evernote Sticky Notes application to your Evernote user account and enabled the synchronization of your local notes to the Evernote server. Activation or authorization is valid for the period of 1 year and will need to be repeated after that.

Evernote Sticky Notes activation / authorization process

Update (02 May 2018): On 23 April 2018, the Evernote Sticky Notes authorization script was taken down from the server at Edo-Soft.com, which resulted in new authorizations no longer working. I have examined the authorization process again and wrote a script that parses and displays the authorization token provided by the Evernote server. The mentioned script was uploaded to the getgui.com server, which means Evernote Sticky Notes no longer depends on the Edo-Soft.com server to finalize the authorization process.

Update (20 September 2023):
Evernote Sticky Notes starts displaying Synchronization failed error (Couldn’t connect to server: System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.)
This happens because Evernote recently dropped support for older TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 security protocols on their servers.
Solution: I have modified the StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config file so that the security protocol is now chosen by the operating system instead of the app.
You can repair your existing Evernote Sticky Notes installation by follow the steps below:
1. Download the modified StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config file
2. Close the running Evernote Sticky Notes (Right-click on the Evernote Sticky Notes icon in the taskbar and click on “Exit” and “Yes” on the confirmation dialog)
3. Unzip / Extract the modified StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config file from the downloaded StickyNotesUpdatedConfigSept2023.zip file, copy it and paste it into the Evernote Sticky Notes folder (usually inside C:\Program files or C:\Program Files (x86) ), overwriting the existing StickyNotes.Wpf.exe.config file.
4. Restart your computer and enjoy the Evernote Sticky Notes synchronizing your notes once again

THX!! This was a life saver…. I actually scrapped Evernote and switched to OneNote due to better tablet / handwriting support – but missed the StickyNotes part badly.
So – activated Evernote again for StickyNotes use only – syncing to 2 pc’s – ove worked (key still there) – other failed!!

Solved with your .dll file…. 🙂

Thx for sharing this!!!

Hi Simon, I have a little question.
I want to made a shortcut as to get a new note directly with a shortcut key (ctrl + …).
So, in the shortcut’s properties, I must have in the target line something as : “C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.Wpf.exe” / …… ?? , but what may I have just after / for adding a new note with Sticky Note ?

For example with Outlook note I may have this target for a new note : “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\OUTLOOK.EXE” /c ipm.stickynote

By advance, many thanks

  Hi Richard, I would first like to thank you for your donation.
  
  I believe the command line argument you are looking for is /addnote
  
  “C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.Wpf.exe” /addnote
  
  There is no possibility to choose the colour of the new note, it will be yellow by default.
  
  If you would like to force the synchronisation, the command line argument is /syncnow
  
  “C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.Wpf.exe” /syncnow
  
  I hope this has helped you.

Hi Simon,
Searched for days!!!!
Tried the solution and worked with international version of Evernote.
BUT I am currently using a localized verion of Evernote (for China only, called “印象笔记“), I cannot login with my localized account.

As far as I know, they are basically same app with different host severs. Checked with official website, I noticed the Oauth requrest url is https://www.evernote.com/oauth for internation version while https://app.yingxiang.com/oauth for Chinese version.

Possible to repack a Chinese verions of DLL for me?
Thanks in advance.

I have been using Evernote Sticky Notes for three years now and got used to it pretty much, so when I encountered this problem I was pretty upset.
I am not a rather skilled computer user, to say the least, but the way you explained it seems perfect.
And it works!
Thanks a lot!

“Could not load file or assembly ‘StickyNotes.OAuth, Version-1.5.9.0, Culture=nautral, PlublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

Can you maybe help me with this?

You Sir, are amazing!
I was so bummed when my Evernote StickNotes stopped syncing, and even more so when I read that the original devs had just let it pass.
I kept it on my PC in hopes that somebody would take up the gauntlet and fix it.
That someone is/was you.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Yesterday stickynotes stopped working. I was looking for fix, found out authors are not maintaining it long time and luckily found this page. I started to decompile this library myself but I gave it a try to google for it first and found your post 🙂 saved my time!

for those who are afraid of installing new DLL -> difference in source code seems to be just in changing POST method to GET method (nothing else) – Simon please correct me if I missed something.

Best! and thanks!

  Hello Daniele,
  
  their Evernote Sticky Notes presentation page at http://stickynotes.edo-soft.com/ has been down for quite a while, but the authentication page at http://hosting.edo-soft.com/ is still up and running. The expiration date for edo-soft.com domain is 2018-07-08 according to whois.com. If developers decide to not renew the registration before that date, I will offer them my web server to host their API in order for the Evernote Sticky Notes to remain operational.
  
  If you were referring to issues with the evernote.com servers – Evernote is conducting brief weekly maintenance every Wednesday at 6PM PT. If you experience any issues with Evernote Sticky Notes, you can check the status of the Evernote service at http://status.evernote.com/
  
  Best Regards,

      You are welcome. Hosting this API wouldn’t put much stress on the server, since every Evernote Sticky Notes user only needs to visit it once per year – during the re-authorisation process. Judging by current blog visit statistics that means around 20 – 30 users per day.

  Hello,
  
  I would like to inform you that I have reverse engineered the Evernote Sticky Notes authorization procedure and wrote a script that reads and displays the authentication token provided by the Evernote server.
  I have uploaded the script on my server, which means we no longer have to depend on the edo-soft.com server for finalizing the authorization procedure.

Hello! There appears to be a problem. I pasted the dll and requested an activation link which did give me the evernote “authorization” page and sticky is authorized again, however I get an error every time
“This site can’t be reached
hosting.edo-soft.com took too long to respond.”

I think the authentication page has gone down too, even though we’re not in July yet 🙁

  I will contact developers of the Sticky Notes and ask them if they would be willing to transfer the API to my server, if they have decided to take it down or cancel the domain.

Hi there Simon,

I have just tried to replace the file and I did receive the authorisation link, but I’m receiving an error that it can’t receive from the server (400) . I went through the process exactly as described but only at the end did I see your update from May 2018. Where can I access the revised file from (your?) server?

Janine says:

Hi there, I’ve just been through the process described above but am now getting a ‘bad server request’ error (400). I did the process before I saw your note about the 2018 changes. Could you please let me know how I can download your replacement script (from your? server).

Cheers

  Hello Janine,
  
  the file that is available on the blog is the newest library file available (that is from May 2018). I have just checked and the authorization process works without any issues for me.
  
  You should download the newest .dll file from the blog and replace the file which is inside the Evernote Sticky Notes folder. While you do this, Evernote Sticky Notes app should be closed (don’t forget to check the taskbar, if the icon is there, you should close the app).
  
  If this still doesn’t work for you, it would be great if you could provide the screenshot of the error you are getting.
  
  Best Regards,
  Simon

It’s an absolute wonder that Evernote doesn’t see the value in producing such an application themselves! For me and many others, I would imagine, Evernote Sticky Notes is indispensable.

Anyhow, thanks again and please keep up the good work.

Take care and have a great year! 😀

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

or error

In other way – all in your guide is ok, but this is maybe new problem, exist any solution?

and updated StickyNotes.Core.dll (updated version works)
and after link request and finishing activation Sticky Notes working correctly.

Hello Simon,
On 17/07/2017 I managed to revive my Sticky Notes based on your instructions.
Some two weeks ago, after a Windows Update my Sticky notes stopped synchronizing.
I tried to repeat the same procedure that I did last year but it does not work.
When I request activation link nothing happens. Just nothing happens and that’s it.
I tried to reload my PC but nothing helps.
Is there anything I missed?

  Hi Gary,
  
  you can synchronize Evernote Sticky Notes accross multiple computers (running Windows) by activating it on every individual computer, using the same Evernote credentials.
  
  If you own an Android phone, an iPhone or a tablet, you can also download and install the Evernote app (from Google Play or App Store) and synchronize your Notes accross the said devices.

Hi Simon,

Happy new year, thank you for all the effort you’ve put into keeping this sync alive. I’ve installed it on a number of PC’s over recent years. I’ve followed your directions to install evernote sticky notes on a new PC but have run into a problem I was hoping you could help with please. I can complete steps 1&2 but when I paste in the verification code I’m getting an error “The remote server returned an error : (401) Unauthorized”.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

  Hi,

  I have installed Evernote Sticky Notes v1.5.9 on a fresh Windows installation (inside an emulator) and replaced the .dll file with the one from the blog post.
  
  I was unable to reproduce the 401 error you are getting – activation is working ok for me.
  
  It’s possible that what you have experienced was only a momentary issue with the Evernote server.
  
  Please try again and let me know if it works for you now.
  
  I wish you a Happy New Year too.

On the market, I did’nt find anything which can replace this app. I’ve searched, I’ve tested, and the only one, the best is Evernote and those Sticky Notes (no depending from Evernote ! A real mystery for me).
So once again, thank you so much.

First of all I want to thank you for this amazing app it is exactly what i am looking for
but after installing and trying to work with it
I found it useless to me because of the lack of support for RTL
is there a way that you can fix it?

I’ll be more then happy to donate for your very appropriated work

Hoping this is still active.

I’m having the same problem as stated before. Followed the steps and managed to get a verification code but it’s returning a 401 Unauthorized on submitting.

I do not have a Sticky Notes folder or notes to delete in Evernote as this was the first time I was installing the Sticky Notes app.

Any help?!?

  Hi Steve,
  
  I have been able to successfully reproduce the 401 error by intentionally copy-pasting one empty space together with the verification code. Evernote treats the empty space at the end of the code as part of the verification code and that’s why it outputs the 401 Unauthorized error.
  
  I have now altered the verification script – removed empty spaces between the code and the >>><<< characters so only the verification code gets copied. Please try again and let me know how it goes.

Hi Simon,
lately i get this error, so far everything has always worked perfectly!!

Synchronization failed

Error code: BAD_DATA_FORMAT
Parameter: Note.title

already tried several times to revoke the certificate from evernote, uninstall the program, reinstall it, recreate the activation key.
it only syncs the notes the first time when I enter the activation key, then it always returns that error.
any idea how I can fix it?

regards 🙂

If your Evernote Sticky Notes stopped synchronizing recently and started displaying “Couldn’t connect to server: System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.” errors, I have developed a solution which is described at the bottom of the blog post.

Lately, I am having problem with my Sticky Note as it doesn’t sync. I tried logout and re login by request activation link but come with the Error ” The remote server returned an error. (403) Forbidden.”

Anyone have experience on this…

TIA

  I have exactly same issue what you have.
  Only one PC shows this issue from two PCs configured identically.
  I will update this thread if I get the answer.
  Or if you get the answer, please update this thread.

      Hi,
      
      I have experienced the same issue and it has resolved itself after a week or two. It seems the issue was on the Evernote side.

    Hi Evgeni,
    
    for me the issue started shortly after I started using VPN and re-connecting to a few different servers in a short period. I have contacted Evernote but they didn’t offer any explanations. The problem has resolved by itself since then.

  Hi guys,
  
  I too have encountered a (403) Forbidden error on my computer. I have then tried to install Evernote Sticky Notes on another computer (on the same network) and it worked without any issues. A few days ago Evernote Sticky Notes started working again on my main computer also. It seems there was an issue on the Evernote side. I have contacted them and they hadn’t offered any solutions or explanations.

After resolving the Error ” The remote server returned an error. (403) Forbidden.” Now, I encounter another error of “Synchronization failed Error code: RATE_LIMIT_REACHED”.

I have tried set the synchonise every 10 mins to 2 hours but have the same error.

Anyone, have similar error and got work around on this?

TIA…
