Hi Folks,

I have just finished reading my first book on Cobol Programming. I also finally got Visual Cobol installed in Visual Studio 2022 Community. I had to install and re-install Visual Cobol about a dozen times to get it installed properly.

When I opened Visual Studio and went to Cobol it wanted me to install the license. I tried it a couple of times and it gave an error. Here is what happened:

I clicked install license and it came up with an error. The error says unable to determine the status of the product license. ERROR DETAILS: Unable to obtain the requested license. Error 18: No license code is available for feature Solar Visual Studio 2010 on host1287.0.0.1.

I think that this has been posted a few times, but when I don’t put such things in my posts, somebody always asks for it. I have zip file with a .xml, file thevcvs2022_110.exe, and the pdf file.

Can somebody help me out with getting a license installed? I just finished reading my first book on Cobol. The title is COBOL Made Easy. I am very excited to get started coding with my next book from Micro Focus called Visual Cobol. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ​@mathman54 , thanks for your message. I have moved it here to the Visual COBOL product forum, as folks most familiar with the product are based here. I’d suggest subscribing to the forum as well (here’s how you do it).
