37

The program has expired

The protected application has expired or reached the limit.

38

Invalid date

The system clock has been set back to the date before the most recent date stamp in the Key. This error occurs when the protected application is under an evaluation or leasing license with a date limit or an expiration date.

42

Not allowed to re-evaluate

The evaluation is over. Re-evaluation is not allowed.

44

The license of the application is not allowed on Virtual Machine.

The Key is not created on virtual machines and the protected application is not running. See the Disable making Key on Virtual Machine.

59

The system cannot get a hardware signature.

60

Invalid Key device

A hardware signature has changed and does not match the one saved in the Key.

62

Invalid Registration ID

This error occurs when entering an invalid Registration ID to the Transfer utility.

63

Invalid License Key

The entered License Key is invalid.

65

The program is already running.

The system detects another process of the protected application. This error occurs when the system is set to block multiple processes.

66

Illegal Operation

The protected application is running under Terminal Services. This error occurs when the system is set to restrict or block Terminal Services.

68

The module is not licensed to execute!

This error occurs when the particular module program is not licensed, as specified in the Key.

74

License is required!

This error usually occurs on the development machine in which testing the protected programs cause the Key to be overwritten improperly. For example, you protect the first program with 30-day evaluation; and then, protect the second program using the same Program ID with 15-day evaluation.

 

During the test, it is recommended to keep Key Inspector running. Key Inspector allows you to see all the Keys installed on your machine. A good practice is to delete the Keys before beginning a new test. This ensures that the machine is in a fresh state (with no Key) like the end-user's computer.

Network Key Error Messages

80

Error reading Network Key configuration file!

The system cannot read the Network Key configuration file (NETKEY.INI).

81
