The connection to the server failed.

Post by PeterMc »

All softmaker programs are now giving this error whener I try to start them:

I've tried rebooting, turning off filewall and antivirus, to no avail. All other programs can access the internet fine. 'Retry' always fails, and 'Cancel' closes the program.

Is there anything I can reset to get it going again?

To investigate this, I need the affected product key. Please send it by e-mail to forum (at) softmaker.com and reference this thread.

I just tried the 'repair' installation (via Windows Settings). Still no go.

Amendment: it did work! For some reason, the first attempt to start an app failed, but subsequent attempts have been fine.

No further action required; thanks!
