Problems with the licence that stops ranorex

Post by seurrep » Mon Mar 04, 2019 9:40 am

When I try and start Ranorex I keep on getting:

The License Manager '[edited]' could not be contacted. Please check your network connection and make sure the Ranorex License Manager is running.

I haven't done anything other than restart Ranorex. Why am I being prevented from using it?

I'm using 8.2 (or 8.3, I forget which). I can't check the version of course because I can't even start the application successfully.

Hi,

From the error message it seems as if the license server is currently not accessible/available. Are you sure the license server is up and running? In my opinion, it does it have anything to do with restarting Ranorex?

I don't think restarting Ranorex is the issue. I only did that after I had this issue to see if that fixed it.

It seems to be working now. I just tried a few seconds ago and it started.

Talking to our devops people it seems that where it was running had to be rebooted as a result of a windows update.
