Did this error start (like a Windows update or software upgrade)?

When the error presents itself, follow this diagnostic workflow:

Windows has a power-saving feature that puts USB ports to sleep. Go to your Power Options > Advanced Settings > USB Settings and set USB selective suspend setting to Disabled . This ensures your USB dongle never loses power.

Sometimes a static discharge or loose port causes the connection to drop.

The background Windows service responsible for managing the license has stopped running.

If you are using a perpetual license with a USB hardware key: Reconnect the Dongle

If you need help locating the license server IP or verifying license files, let me know your AccuMark version and license type (network or standalone).

Windows services handle the communication between AccuMark and your license. If these services crash, the software will fail to launch.

Go to the official Thales/Gemalto customer support portal or the Gerber web portal.

Your license "bit" may need an update to support a newer version of the software.
