Hi,

We have just updated the server in the company I work and when I try to start IES I get the following WARNING:

WARNING: the PIN number: XYZ stored in the
keys.txt file at "T:\apps\Keys"
is not valid for that folder.
The PIN number for the specified location is YYY.

NOTE: you CANNOT copy keys files from one location to another.
Each new keys folder requires a new keys licence file.
Please contact IES if you require assistance.

And in the troubleshooting:

[KEYS INFORMATION]
PIN: XYZ

Licence directory = T:\apps\Keys
STATUS: No problems detected
Remote keys on '\\tbs-vm-fs' IP = [---]
Client IP = [---], IPMask = [---], Subnet test = WAN
Connection protocol: ethernet
Connection type dW(2)
Test: 588A25BA(0)

Licence DAT file = C:\Program Files (x86)\IES\VE 2016\apps\keys\ies.dat
STATUS: No problems detected

Application directory = C:\Program Files (x86)\IES\VE 2016\apps\
Standard Data and Weather Files Directory = C:\Program Files (x86)\IES\Shared Content\

I have already tried to repath the licence key and didn't help.

Does anyone know what I am supposed to do to fix this issue?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your post.

It seems you have attempted to place your keys into a new location.

Your keys will always be assigned to a specific location there for will prompt this error when this is attempted.

If you wish to transfer to the new location you can do so by using the following link.
