Evening all, Who's bored of this one?! Well, here's another. As with most other people, I'm getting the above message. I've followed all other steps from previous threads and I'm still at a loss. The only thing I can see that I did do, is a hard reset and changed the name of my laptop. With any luck, that's it but let's see. Any offers? Thanking you, Sam. Log in to reply |

Usually it's a firewall and/or antivirus issue. What AV do you use?

Just the bog standard Windows Firewall. I've seen IE permissions mentioned but I'm using Chrome and all permissions are allowed on the firewall for the license manager. I've been trying to fix it manually for the last few weeks but it's getting on my wick now! Ta, Sam. Log in to reply |

Windows uses internet explorer settings, so you need to make sure they match what is mentioned in the other threads. The fact you use Chrome doesn't come into it. What version of Windows are you on?

"Failed to Connect to Server" Like I say, I've seen a laptop name change can send it out of sorts because I've exhausted all other options to my knowledge. Firewall & permissions are all sorted... Sam. Log in to reply |

caerus_sam in post 116212 said:"Failed to Connect to Server"Have you followed the instructions in the other threads to enable TLS / SSL in the internet explorer options? Changing your laptop name is not at all related to this issue.

What is your skill level? Can you use a network packet sniffer?
