Applanix SLU: No Internet Connection Available

Problem:

Attempting to activate a POSPac license in the Applanix Software License Utility (SLU) results in the error, "No internet connection available. Activating a license requires an internet connection."

Probable Resolution #1:

Ensure your machine is connected to the internet.

Probable Resolution #2

The Applanix license activation and deactivation uses HTTP/HTTPs protocol to communicate with their license server web portal, server at licensing.applanix.com (HTTP Port 8080, 31350, SSL Port 8443).

On bootup, the software license utility attempts to connect to ftp.applanix.com. You will need to ensure that the Software License Utility and Sentinel RMS License Manager are not being blocked by any firewalls.
