Solution

Error Occurring on Activation:

  1. This error indicates network connection problems when trying to talk to our licensing servers. To access the Imatest license server, please consider the suggestions below:

    1. Try to access to the IP addresses on this page.

      1. If you cannot reach either of these, there is definitely something on your machine that is blocking the connection (e.g. safety protocols/firewall, lack of internet, etc.).

    2. If you have an internet connection, but cannot access the IP addresses given on the page linked above, try setting up a proxy server to route through instead.

    3. If you do not have an internet connection, or the proxy server does not work, use our offline activation option.

Error Occurring on Deactivation:

  1. Please try offline deactivation

  2. If that does not work

    , reach out to our Support Team for further assistance.

    If you plan to re-activate Imatest on the same computer (with any license), you will most likely need to do the following first:

    Delete the *.lic file located at

    :

    1. Close out of Imatest

    2. Update the [imatest] section of your INI file to include the entry license_debug = 1.

      1. If needed, here are instructions to help with this: How To: Find Your Default INI File.

    3. Delete the .lic file from:

      1. Mac: /Library/Application Support/Imatest

      2. Windows: C:\ProgramData\Imatest\license

      3. Linux: /var/lib/

        imatest 

        imatest 

    4. Restart your

      PC Launch Imatest and re

      computer

    5. Re-try the activation

    If the error still occurs, please send us any log files located at C:\ProgramData\Imatest\license and C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Imatest, as well as the error message you are seeing, and we will look into it further.
