46 A Connection timed out error indicates that the iSymphony server is unable to communicate with the licensing server. This can be due to iptables, firewalld, an external firewall on your network, or anything else that may block communication.
47
48 1. Confirm whether you are able to communicate with the licensing server.
49 11. The following command can be used: telnet 3.license.getisymphony.com 49996
50 11. If you see connected, then you are able to talk to the server.
51 1. If the machine cannot talk to the licensing server you will need to investigate what is blocking the communication on the network.
52 11. Allow iptables outbound tcp communication on port 4996: (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp ~-~-dport 49996 -m state ~-~-state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
53 111. Note: this assumes you are connecting via eth0, replace eth0 with the relevant NIC.
54 11. Verify firewalld is allowing outbound tcp communication on port 4996 enabled. For example, the following command on CentOS could be used to check if firewalld is installed: systemctl status firewalld.
55 11. Verify other firewalls or external firewalls on your network are allowing outbound tcp communication on port 49996.
56 1. Once the telnet command in step one is showing a connected response attempt to activate license again.

86 No initialization information found indicates that iSymphony was unable to find a NIC in the UP state currently displaying a valid MAC address. An invalid MAC address will generally be either no MAC, or a MAC that looks like the following (% style="color: rgb(60,62,67);" %)00:00:00:00:00.
87
88 1. (% style="color: rgb(60,62,67);" %)Verify that the NIC is currently in an up state and reporting a valid MAC address, the following command can be used: ifconfig
89 1. (% style="color: rgb(60,62,67);" %)If a valid MAC is not being displayed (virtualized solutions, for example, tend to encounter this problem) consult with your network administrator to configure the NIC to display a proper MAC address.
90 11. (% style="color: rgb(60,62,67);" %)Note, the MAC address needs to persist between reboots, or the license will become unbound.
91 1. (% style="color: rgb(60,62,67);" %)Once a valid MAC address is being reported by the NIC, attempt to activate the license again.

107 iSymphony licenses are intended to be bound to a single machine. Continuously releasing a license to switch between two or more machines is unsupported.
