Introduction
Hey readers,
Are you experiencing difficulties checking out the license for your Molecular Operating Environment (MOE)? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. This article will guide you through various troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue and get your MOE up and running smoothly.
Reasons for Checking Out License
Before delving into troubleshooting, it’s essential to understand why checking out the license is important. MOE requires a valid license to function. Checking out the license allows you to borrow the license from the license server and use MOE for a specified period. Without a valid checkout, MOE will operate in a limited functionality mode.
Troubleshooting Check Out License Issue
Step 1: Verify Network Connectivity
Ensure your computer is connected to the network and that it can communicate with the license server. Check your firewall settings to ensure they are not blocking access to the license server.
Step 2: Check License Server Status
Contact your IT department or license provider to verify if the license server is operational. If the license server is down, you will not be able to check out the license.
Step 3: Check License Expiration Date
Your license may have expired. Contact your license provider to renew it. An expired license will prevent you from checking out a valid license.
Step 4: Clear MOE Cache
Sometimes, residual files from previous license checkouts can interfere with the current checkout process. Clear the MOE cache by going to Tools > Preferences > General and clicking the "Clear Cache" button.
Step 5: Reinstall MOE
If all other troubleshooting steps fail, you may need to reinstall MOE. Uninstall the current version and download the latest version from the Chemical Computing Group website.
