Nic H Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 try chaos support or your reseller imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario De Achadinha Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi Guys Agreed.... speak to chaos group reseller. But when you have that problem can often be your antivirus with firewall settings blocking access to the license service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3vendhan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hai all , I am also getting this same license error and i found an simple way to rectify ( NOT PERMANENT) Just go back your system date to 1/may/2012 , while your system date reaches 1/june/2012, once again error -197 or -222 will occur ( don't ask me why that i dont' know) Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
