I recently encountered a frustrating issue while trying to log in to my Building Operation software. The error message I received was No license available. Error -83: Version of vendor daemon is too old. At first glance, this seemed like a dead end, but I decided to dig deeper and find a solution.
After some research, I discovered that the root cause was an outdated License Server. The software I was using had been updated, but the License Server hadn’t been upgraded to match. This mismatch was causing the license error. To resolve this, I followed these steps:
- Check the Version of the License Server: I opened the Windows Services and confirmed that the version shown was outdated.
- Upgrade the License Server: I made sure to select both components of the License Administrator during the upgrade process. This was crucial, as missing either component would leave the issue unresolved.
- Restart the Services: After the upgrade, I restarted the relevant services to ensure the changes took effect.
This process worked like a charm, and I was able to log in without any issues. It was a bit of a learning curve, but it taught me the importance of keeping all components up to date. If anyone else is facing similar problems, I highly recommend checking the versions of your License Server and Administrator. A simple upgrade can save a lot of frustration!
