Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Tried to buy the game at 7:15 a.m. EST Saturday. It downloaded and I went through the reg process, but upon clicking the "Purchase" button, was dialogued that a connection could not be established with the license server. Numerous attempts failed. What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 sounds like either your server or elicense crapped out. I would try again shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Everything appears to be fine on my mind, Tim. I've done other downloading elsewhere this AM, no proxy issues, I've purchased from GDS before, etc. , etc. I will try again -- but how do I get the purchase dialogue back w/o re-downloading?

Tim Plum Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The server issue is on GDS/elicense end as I figured. If you have already put in your credit card info. I would go directly to elicense website. Server is down on GDS side-I'm trying to get hold of someone now. No promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 OK, Tim -- but repeating my question: How do I get to that dialogue w/o re-downloading the game? The dialogue only pops up at the end of the copy-file process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Well, I see now that the purchase dialogue pops up when I try to open the game. Little did I know that I cannot continue my demo season either now that this has happened! So...still no luck purchasing; just waiting for you guys to get your license server back on line.

Azamien Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I've had that happen on other games. Just go to [url]https://www.elicense.com/greydogsoftware/store/index.asp[/url] and order it manually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdog Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I know this might not be any help , but I downloaded it this morning and didn't have any problems. I know, no help, just thought I'd pass this info on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Thanks guys, but no good. Taking Azamien's advice, I was able to go there and actually purchase the game and get a license #. However, when trying to obtain the license, I continue to get messages that a connection cannot be established with the license server. And since this has disenabled my demo, my big plans for a nice Sat. morning settling in with the game are screwed. Tim...someone...help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 This appears to be a firewall issue. I turned off the firewall and it appears I'm OK now. Just mentioning this in case anyone else has the same problem (I use NIS). Thanks for everyone's help and advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
