Quick guide

The following answers have solved the problem for most users. In the meantime the developer team is working on a solution.

• During registration meteonorm software needs to contact our license server. You have to be on-line, at least for the registration!
• Some IT systems use a proxy server to resolve internet addresses. If so, you have to enter it into the meteonorm software settings. Please start the meteonorm software in the demo mode. Open the menu: Tools -> Options and enter the proxy server.

• Start registration again in the menu: Help -> Register..

Explanation

The error message says that the resolving of the address of the license server failed. This might happen when you are off line or if your IT environment is using a proxy server which the meteonorm software does not know. In both cases meteonorm software cannot connect to the license server.
