6.95 FAQ-1123 When I connect to server, I see an error message saying "Origin cannot contact your FLEXlm server". What should I do?

Cannot-Connect-FLEXlm-Server

Last Update: 9/20/2022

If you see following error message when connect your Origin to the license server:

Origin cannot contact your FLEXlm server

If the error code is any other value than License Status: 161,

There must be some network connection problem between the FLEXlm server and client machine. Please refer to this page to fix the connection problem.

If the error code is License Status: 161,

It is caused by site restriction. Your serial number is for 1 site. That means the client computers must be in the same site as the server computer.

If you want to run Origin in a different site from your license server, please contact us.
