Problem:

We want to be able to activate our Cobol 2010 Runtime licenses via their Proxy Server but when doing so see the following error:

Error: Unable to comunicate with Micro Focus ,The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

Resolution:

Please note that this issue is resolved in Visual COBOL version 2.1, if you are using a previous version of this product please try the following:

To allow for safe net license activation through a proxy server you can use the following CesAdminTool.exe.config file modification, this file is normally placed in the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WINNT\CesAdminTool.exe.config

The proxy configuration will be set in internet explorer , for further info you could read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sa91de1e(v=VS.90).aspx

To make it work, you should modify the file with:


  <>
    useDefaultCredentials="true"
        />
