thanks for your response, i have tried to just add as license server  i get the downloading, installing then a DOS window pop up, but then when it refreshes i get the same message as above..

The ephere service is running, have even tried restarting both machine and service in case.

"

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 207.148.26.232:39374

Authorization failed
This computer has a previously assigned license"

I have done this on the2nd computer, and now i can see on our licnnse page the 2nd machine showing, so it shows tha a license has been assigned to the machine, but still get this..... 

thanks for your response, i have tried the 'install license server' button, otpion, and the connect, I have passed over the IP:port no. to our infrastructure team to just check the rules, but from my viewing i dont see any traffic getting blocked in or out, but will get them to check incase i have missed something.

In terms of hte license these will only be 2 machines, so no need for floating will be dedicated machines running this software - Both machines are showing on your license page as having pinged to pick up license and they both acknowledge "computer has previously assigned license"

Hi

Tried this but we get 400 responses from when it tries to download the license server. See attached image, this shows that it clealy gets to your site and 'calls home' but then fails to download, however in the URL its trying to get to you can see i highlighted an 'apostraphe' you cant have these in URLs
