Description

When you try to activate your Loftware license, the activation stops and reports an error with this title: “License connection failed.”

UUID-12d5893e-5c52-725d-0dae-f50a61dd704d.png
[Warning] Warning

Save your work immediately to prevent losing your changes. If you lose your connection with the licensing server, Loftware closes after 5 minutes.

Causes

Cause 1: Firewall settings are blocking your connection. The Loftware licensing server checks if your license is active and valid. This is why the connection between your computer and the Loftware licensing server is mandatory. If there is no connection, you cannot activate Loftware

[Note] Note

The Loftware licensing server issues and activates licenses you purchase.

Cause 2: The Loftware Cloud Proxy Service has stopped. If you own a multi-user license, your installed Loftware applications use the Loftware Cloud Proxy Service to communicate licensing information. If this service stops on one of the computers, the installed copy is no longer active.

Solution

There are two possible solutions.

  • For Cause 1, check your firewall settings. Make sure port 6772 is open.

[Note] Note

Consult your IT personnel for the firewall settings.

  • For Cause 2, restart the Loftware Cloud Proxy Service:

  1. Open Services on your computer.
