Cannot get a License

RoaringWeasel · 06-04-2009, 09:15 PM

I'm running Windows XP. I first downloaded the game using one of the many links offered. I succeeded to the point where I could input my purchase code. I then received the error message "Sorry could not get a license at this time. Please try running this program later 616 1". I tried this several more times with the same result except the numbers were 361 1, rather than 616 1. Another difference was I never reached the point where I could input my purchase code.

Next day (now) I tried again. Same result. I then uninstalled the game and reinstalled it with a different link. As before, when I double-click I still cannot reach the license page. I get the tired old "Sorry could not get a lincense at this time. Please try running this program later 361 1.

What is going on here?

More info please. O/S, when did you purchase? As many details as possible

Ok. Not sure how many more details I can come up with. I ordered it on Tuesday, May 26th. I did note another error message that I received. When I first installed the game I received the message "Error 4 internal error 3". Hope these meager items can help.

Same problem here. I purchased on May 12, downloaded earlier today from the first link which was an OOTP server. I installed and when I click to open the program I can't even enter my license number. An error pops up stating "Sorry, could not get a license at this time. Please try again later." Then it lists the following numbers:
361
1

We need your operating system people... We can't guess which one your trying to install it under to help. Thanks

The OP stated in his first sentence that he was running Windows XP.

Thanks, so I'm blind. Been look at this forum too much today!

Hmm, it seems like the eLicense wrapper is having trouble reaching their servers.

Do you have a firewall (Windows, ZoneAlarm) running? Can you try, just as a temporary measure, disabling your firewall?

OK, mine is fixed - everything is ok now. I deleted the first install and re-downloaded the program from the OOTP10.leagueserver this time. Also, I realized during the first install I had some programs running, so what I did was re-start my computer, close anything running then re-installed.

I got the license screen then an error stating Windows had to close the program popped up. After closing I tried again and bingo everything worked. I'm running XP by the way.

Try again today, and let us know if it works. Try uninstalling if you have to, redownload and try again!

Success! I backed away from this Baseball 10 thing for awhile and went back to Title Bout 2.5. Never had any problems loading it. But this time I received the exact same error message as in baseball. I've had the license and everything else up and running since December. So I decided to run a scan for virus problems. That was it. I eliminated some adware or whatever and was able to install the lincense. It's great to get it going. Thanks for all the help.
