Common causes in the current product
- A recent checkout or payment change has not fully reflected yet.
- The workspace is on a past-due, canceled, incomplete, or unpaid billing state.
- The License page shows a full device count and an old machine still holds a slot.
- A machine is running an older installer version and needs updating.
- The app cannot yet load a workspace, so billing or license details are incomplete.
- A temporary service or connectivity issue interrupted the latest status check.
Current troubleshooting checklist
- Check Billing status. Confirm whether the workspace is active, trialing, past due, canceling, canceled, or incomplete.
- Check License status. Review the current access badge, renewal or expiry date, and devices in use.
- Review device slots. If you changed local PC or Windows VPS, remove an old machine if it still holds a slot.
- Update the local app if needed. If License shows an update notice, install the latest version on that device.
- Retry after a short delay. If the issue followed a payment or plan change, give the system a moment and reopen the app page.
How this replaces older Freshdesk troubleshooting docs
This guide consolidates the older articles for:
- Activation limit reached or Not Enough Activations
- Trial device or IP limit reached
- Licensing server unavailable or database connection failed
- Update available, download the latest version
The older `Login failed` article was not migrated as-is because the current billing and license flow is no longer best explained as a manual license-page credential problem. If website sign-in itself is failing, use the normal sign-in and password reset flow first.
