Hi Damian, Running captioned version (build 533) years now. Never usually have issues but for the second time in the last week I'm now seeing this error despite having an active functioning internet connection. Last time I just quit and eventually ASv connected ok when I tried again a couple hours later. The old fs machine is running WinXP SP3, antivirus disabled makes no difference, and no firewall other than Windows, turned that off too. Any server issues lately on your end or possibly something going on with mine? As I type this ASv not connecting. ThanksMark Reynolds

Back up now. As I said I never have issues so have not been to the forum. Just catching up now - wonder if this is to do with anti-piracy measures?

Hi Mark, We apologize for the occasional problems in our servers, we are dealing with rampant illegal access issues causing tremendous overload. We expect all problems to cease by the end of next week as we move things over to new servers, additional servers, and new security technology as well as begin prosecution of identified hackers and pirates. In short we're doing absolutely everything we can as strongly and as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience while we work all this out!

No prob at all Damian, fully understood - do as you must.
