Treat your authorization code with the same care as a master key to your plant’s control cabinet.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Remedy | |---------|--------------|--------| | “Invalid license key” message | Typo, wrong version (e.g., a Unity Pro Standard key entered into XL), or corrupted clipboard data. | Re‑type the code; confirm you have the Unity Pro XL key. | | License expires after a few days (even with a perpetual license) | Hardware fingerprint change (e.g., network card replacement) or a mismatched dongle. | Re‑run the License Manager on the new hardware, or request a re‑issued code tied to the updated fingerprint. | | No features unlocked (motion functions remain disabled) | License only covers core PLC functionality, not the Motion‑XL add‑on. | Verify that the purchase included the desired add‑on; request an updated code that includes the extra module. | | Floating license server cannot be reached | Network firewall blocks port 27000 (default) or DNS entry for the license server is wrong. | Open the required ports, check the server’s hostname/IP, and ensure the License Server Service is running. | | License Manager crashes during import | Corrupt license file (e.g., edited manually). | Delete the local license file and import the original, unmodified code again. |
