?What happens?
When trying to activate a licence of a third-party manufacturer via the Licence Manager (menu Tools>License Manager), a window with the title "PlcDesigner" containing HTML code appears.
When does this behaviour occur?
If the proxy settings must be acknowledged when logging in, communication with the 3S licence server fails. As a result, the licence cannot be activated via the License Manager.
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer from V3.6
Short-term measures:
Do not use a proxy server or use a proxy server without authentication.
If this is not possible or if there are still problems when installing or activating package files, please contact the supplier who provided you with the package files.
Evaluation/recommendations:
Software requiring a licence (e.g. CODESYS SVN) which you can obtain from the CODESYS store must be activated. Depending on the network settings of your PC, it will not be possible to activate the software licence.
