License Status Check Failure

License status Check Failure (Error code:255). Please try again later.

Search and try to get the following solutions:

Cause of the problem:

Since other versions of RAD Studio have been installed on the computer, and different versions of RAD Studio share the registration authorization information to the path C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero (this path is WIN10, WIN7 WIN8 should be the same, Search Embarcadero if not found).

The installer, Setup.exe, would then search for the. Cgb_license and. Licenses\.cg_license in the path and related to the slip file, judging that there is no authorization information for the currently installed version, resulting in an error.

A bug that can generally be considered a setup.exe, resulting in the inability to co-install multiple versions.

Workaround:

1. Create the appropriate version of the folder in C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero (such as XE7 XE8 XE5 or 9.0 15.0 16.0, etc.), and the file. Cgb_license and folders. Licenses\.cg_license Clip to Gen Built in the folder.

If the currently installed version is XE7:

A. Move the original file C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero\.cgb_license to C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero\XE7\.cgb_license

B. Move the original folder C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero\.licenses to C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero\XE7\.licenses

2. Search hard disk Cglm.ini files, generally exist in the RAD Studio installation directory of the bin and InterBase related directories also have, C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero may also have, in short, open all the Cglm.ini files to search.

Some of the contents are as follows:

[Embarcadero License Management]
Rootdir=${module_dir}\.
Licensedir=${rootdir}\license
Infodir=${common_appdata}\embarcadero\.licenses
Slipdir=${common_appdata}\embarcadero\

A. Modify the Infodir and Slipdir,xe7 to refer to the following modifications

Infodir=${common_appdata}\embarcadero\xe7\.licenses
Slipdir=${common_appdata}\embarcadero\xe7\

3. After modifying the start Rad Studio, confirm that there is no problem to install the new version, the problem is estimated to be back to the original

In addition, someone on the internet said to remove all the files and folders under C:\ProgramData\Embarcadero, this should also be possible, but a bit violent, and may cause the old installed version will not work properly.
