Possible causes and solutions

Wrong License INIT String

Wrong BlueBox

The license INIT string has to be programmed in the same BlueBox you requested the INIT string from.


Wrong winIDEA

The license INIT string has to be programmed with the same winIDEA version you requested the INIT string from.
