A – This is caused by a turkey in the licensing program where spaces in machine names are not handled properly. If you are running a nodelock version of TransferPro, simply open the file tpro_license/tpro_license.dat with “Notepad” or another text editor and remove the spaces from your machine’s name in the file, then save the change. The machine name is only important for floating licenses. If you have a floating license and your server name has a space in the name, contact DIT for a new version of the software which supports spaces in the server name.
