SYMPTOMS

Setting up your site on a temporary location or during a server move you get "Invalid License"

CAUSE

The software uses the domain name to verify the license but your temporary setup uses a different name or just the IP address to access it.

SOLUTION

Add a line to your hosts file in this format:

[Your IP] [Your Domain]

For example:

123.123.123.123 yourdomain.com

You can find your hosts file on your PC in the following directory (assuming C:\WINDOWS is the location of windows on your PC):-

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You can use Notepad to open it. click START then RUN on your PC and paste the following in and it should open:

CODE

notepad C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
