This error means that either you have no access to the Chaos license server or that the license is unavailable:

• Check if you have installed the Chaos license server. If the license server is working correctly, you should be able to see your licenses when you open an internet browser on the license server computer and navigate to its status page - http://localhost:30304

• If you use online licensing (obtain the license over the internet) you need to be logged in with your Chaos  username/email address in the license server menu. Make sure you are using the email that is associated with your license.

If you are logged in with the wrong username navigate to "Online licensing" button->Deactivate/ Sign Out to log off. To log in with the correct account click on "Online licensing" -> Enable / Sign In

• If you obtain your Chaos license from a license server on another computer, make sure your operating system's firewall or the firewall on the license server computer is not blocking TCP port 30304. You can test this by entering http://IP_Address:30304 in your browser, where "IP_Address" is the IP address of the computer with the license server installed. You should be able to access the status screen of the license server.

• Check your license settings. They should point to the computer with the Chaos license server installed. Use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" if that's the computer you're working on.

• If you share your license with your colleagues, make sure that the license is not already in use by someone else. Navigate in your browser to http://IP_Address:30304, where "IP_Address" is the IP address of the computer with the license server installed. Click on the box with the name of your license and check if there is a free license. You can see who is using the licenses by clicking on the blue number of engaged licenses.
