I have the home version of Microstation V8i from where I work. I have put in the license key and set the server to selectserver-home. Program runs and claims it is activated. Initially the countdown was 29 days to activate. Everyday, though, I have to go through the activation process and now the day counter is down to 16 days. What is going on? Is the program going to cease operating at 0 days? do I need a Proxy server. Is my firewall causing the problem. IT at my day job says they don't service the home version. Running Windows 10
The client is your machine. I checked what appears to be your home-use key (ending in E47D), but I am not seeing any restrictions that would explain the pop-up message. As a troubleshooting step, please click the License Checkout tab. Does it populate with a list of products? If so, your machine has access to communicate with the home-use license server.
Jeremy,
The key I was given with the prog. ends in 5B2E. I wonder if what you see is my old key from an earlier home version that is on a different machine, which, by the way gives me the same message so I cant use it. I assumed it meant that it was deactivated. So next, when I click on License checkout - this is when I get the “Client does not have access to this site” message and when I close the message the window does not populate with anything. I think we are discovering something.
In response to your first reply I do use this for a hobby I call the Strand Theatre Project. I am trying to do renderings but I'll have to get on a different forum to work out those bugs.

I am not sure if this is relative but I think this will show the problem - in the licdebug.log file are a slew of issues from registry HLKM files not being created to other communication problems.

I must be looking at the wrong organization then. I will contact you via Private Message to confirm some details.

The log will display several messages when it checks the All Users profile (i.e. HKLM) for license settings. When it does not find any, it checks the current user profile (i.e. HKCU) instead.
OK - I have our IT people looking at that log file - hopefully they will see something. They told me there would not be anything populated in the license checkout window. My registered email is my work email so I won't see it til Monday.
