activation failed (date and time are incorrect)Solved

Typical problem occurs,

"Failed to activate because your system date and time settings are incorrect.Fix your date and time settings, restart your computer, and try to activate again"

To synchronize date and time with Windows Internet time to update time, here in client system all machine gets activated successfully but only one machine does not activated.

they using windows domain and internet time tab is missing .by manually setting date and timerestart the system the time updates to domain time

how to resolve this?

Tell them to fix the domain time. Or tell them to fix the computer so it uses the system time instead of the domain time.

hi

if we fix the domain time, what will happen to other machine that are running with our activation successfully.if they restart the client machine it will update the time from domain.

when manually set the system time after restart it updates to domain time.

is any options to show the missing internet time tab in date time properties?

If the domain time is correct, then there's nothing to worry about. Everything will work because the system time matches reality.

is any options to show the missing internet time tab in date time properties?

The only reason I mentioned the internet time previously was to prove a point. That point being that the date/time on the system you were fixing before (which I assume is the same system you're fixing now) is incorrect. I was using my knowledge of the internet time function to demonstrate a point (namely, that your system time wasn't anywhere near what it should have been).

TurboActivate doesn't care about the domain time or internet time -- it only checks to see if your system time is fraudulent or not. If your system time is tied to domain time, then fix your domain time.

Short answer: fix your domain time.

Ok, there was a bug in TurboActivate. Get the latest TurboActivate, on your API page, to fix this bug.

Hi sam

thanks for the new turboactivate dll

i had download the new version of turboactivate dll and include in our license application the uninstall my previous application and reinstall new version.it's work perfectly on yesterday.

but the problem is today after booting the machine the activation failed message shown in label was occured.

after select -help menu - activate option- activate application online now-

i got the following message again in all machines that had installed with new vesion.

"Failed to activate because your system date and time settings are incorrect.Fix your date and time settings, restart your computer, and try to activate again"

could you tell me the steps to slove this problem

thank you

Are you using TurboActivate 2.10? Right click both the .exe and .dll files and see the version.

Ya the product and file vesion is 2.10.0.0 for both turbo activate dll and turbo activate exe.

what may be reason?

what can i do now?

If activation worked on the computer before, and now it's not, then it can be only one thing: the date and time settings are incorrect. Fix them.

Also, why are you activating the same computers again?

no we didn't tried to activate again.

the following function returns false and cause the label in login screen to - Me.mnuActDeact.Text = "Activate..."

Me.isActivated = TurboActivate.IsActivated

If Me.isActivated Then Me.mnuActDeact.Text = "Deactivate" Else Me.mnuActDeact.Text = "Activate..."

Do 2 things:

1. Run TurboActivate.exe. Is it activated?2. Check your date and time settings. Take a screenshot of the date and time settings window and upload it to http://imageshack.us/. Post the link.

For you queries:1.when i run turboactivate exe it did not activated.while debug through coding the folowing function "Me.isActivated = TurboActivate.IsActivated" returns false.

Me.isActivated = TurboActivate.IsActivated

If Me.isActivated Then Me.mnuActDeact.Text = "Deactivate" Else Me.mnuActDeact.Text = "Activate..."

If (TurboActivate.GracePeriodDaysRemaining = 0) Then Me.ShowActivateMessage(True) End If End If

Public Shared Function IsActivated() As Boolean

Select Case Native.IsActivated(TurboActivate.VersionGUID) Case 7 Throw New GUIDMismatchException Case 8 Throw New ProductDetailsException Case 11 Throw New COMException Case 0 Return True End Select Return False End Functioni give only the vesion guid from lime lm dashboard for the current product.i didn't change the above functions .

Thanks for spotting this -- we've fixed it (it was a server-side problem). Sorry for the trouble. Your users should now be able to activate.

Technical details: the "expires date" wasn't being calculated correctly. Specifically the "year" component was wrong. Instead of rolling over to the year "2011" it was stuck at "2010".
