I'm running Visual Studio CE and Visual COBOL PE. Trying to open a .sln I get 'An error occurred ... while attempting to open...' and all my programs are shown as 'incompatible' in the 'Solution Explorer'. I then get a dialog asking for an Authorization Code. I'm assuming my VC licence has expired. However opening Licence Administration the contents show 'Visual COBOL PE Visyal Studio' and '365 Days Left.' Also trying to open a different project gives '247     Licensing error (Error[0xc800100d]: The license for Feature "SolarNativeRuntime" is no longer valid because the license expiration date has been reached.)'. Assuming both of these issues are due to my VC licence expiring would it be possible to renew the licence?#VisualCOBOL

Scenario in general: We have a client with some unusual (at least for us) possible issues with AcuServer. At random times during a day the client's users will begin to throw  9D,103 and 9D, 104 error messages. The client has a work around of rebooting the server on a daily basis in the early AM hours. The client would prefer not to have to reboot the server.  Specifics in regards to the client's setup and other observations: The problem started approximately 4 weeks ago and to the client's knowledge no changes have been made to the environment. Our review would agree in regards to changes in the AcuCOBOL environment in the last 4 weeks but the client does apply Windows updates as released. The client's entire infrastructure is virtualized using VDI for user workstations running Windows 7 and application server  Windows Server 2008. The client has approximately 30 to 50 concurrent application users at any one time.,  The client has 9 instances of AcuServer running as

I'm getting the 37, 07 errors when trying to log into my AcucobolGT application which states that file permissions are not allowing access to the data files.  The user does have Full Control of the folder and the configuration of network users and folders is identical to the previous  server configuration. Does anyone know if file permissions work differently in Server 2022 or if additional Security/Permission configuration is needed? Thanks.#extend#AcuCobol#AcuServer
