  • licensing issue, can't generate .wbc file

    Hi,

    I can't generate a .wbc file for dongle reprogramming. It always comes up with this error message:

    Failed!

    There was an error while trying to obtain the context (-100). Contact Chaos Software to resolve the problem

    How do I get around that?

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.3.

    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    I'll get someone from the support guys to help, I know they've come across this before. Bit of a bummer that this comes in on Friday night... In the meantime, if it's possible, you can generate the .wbc file on another machine (Windows or Linux; Windows generally is more reliable).

    Best regards,
    Vlado
    I only act like I know everything, Rogers.

      Thanks for the reply! Was easy in the end, just had to run the vrlservice with root permissions.

          You can get a license server from the 2.4.02 build (or 3.0 beta 2 if you have access). This error should be fixed there. AFAIK, it was not root related, but you must run vrlservice from the console to work around the -100 error. The new vrlservice should work fine even if launched from the GUI.
