Now I get a different error!

You may now receive different errors as the license change process actually goes through. Here are the more common ones:

  • 7213: You have a typo in your license key. Check the entire string for confusing characters, like B/8, O/0, etc. and try entering it again.
  • 7221: After Step 3, then engine did not start properly. Go through this process again.
  • 7226: You are attempting to deactivate a key that was not active.
  • 7239: Your computer cannot access Actian's electronic licensing servers in Europe. Ask your firewall administrator to allow the connection to elspv.actian.com, or contact Actian to perform a telephone activation.
  • 7313: Deactivate the license from the old computer before activating it on the new one. If you cannot access the old computer any more, contact Actian for assistance with a manual deactivation.
  • 7314: Repair the license first, then deactivate it. If you cannot repair it, contact Actian for a manual repair.
  • 7341/7342/7458: You have exceeded the allowed number of activations, deactivations, or repairs. Contact Actian to have them increase the limits.
  • Other Errors: Check the exact error message and contact Actian for assistance.

How Do I Contact Actian?
