Solution:
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:
Try to access to the IP addresses on this page.
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.).
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.
If you do not have an internet connection, or the proxy server does not work, use our offline activation option.
…If none of these options work for you, please do the following:
Close out of Imatest
Update the
[imatest]
section of your INI file to include the entrylicense_debug = 1
.If needed, here are instructions to help with this: How To: Find Your Default INI File.
