This error occurs during Online activation of the product. It indicates that your project data is not uploaded on the Activation Server.

 
Check if your URL to the Activation Server is correct - see Online Activation. If the activation never works and you always get this error, then this is 99% due to a wrong URL.

Otherwise it is a typical message when a firewall blocks the online activation. If it is a company wide firewall the system administrator would have to open port 80.

The Unlock Key is was made using a wrong installation code.

Example

Instcodes:

01: 3F523F50

02: 3DED554A

03: 280EAE6E

04: 280EAE6E

..

If you create an Unlock Key and use 3F523F50 (=Code1) for Netbios Name (=Code 4) then you get this error.

This error indicates that there is no free license available for the PC or user, who wants to start the Multimedia Player . See error screen sample.

Possible situations where this error might occur are:

•in a network installation, too many PC's or users try to start the Multimedia Player

•using a Terminal Server, Citrix or Remote PC session as each session counts a separate license per PC or license per concurrent user. See Network License.

•on a  local PC installation with a license per user and multiple users on the PC start the Multimedia Player

•if a USB-Stick is used, you can define on how many PCs the USB-Stick can be attached - see Number of Computers where the USB-Stick can be used. If the user used his own USB-Stick the number of PCs is coded in the Serial Number.

Click on Show License information. You would see all PC's or users holding the license. It is possible to deactivate a license if it is no longer necessary.
