Troubleshooting for dongle update
- When RDP (Remote desktop connection) is open, this is not going to work. Please do these steps without RDP. VNC/Team Viewer is OK.
- During the remote update process please make sure the necessary ports are open (TCP:475, UDP:475 ports). Please check firewall, antivirus, etc. for those ports.
- Please make sure you have installed the necessary dongle driver (Step:2)
- Please do not use Remote desktop to create key status file or update. Directly work on the server/pc or use another remote software such as TeamViewer, etc.
- If you still have problems, please contact your reseller or contact support@metus.com.
