wf4 win7 update problem

[engrnick]

Hey all,
I lost my WF license last night after applying updates to win 7. I can't use it at all.

It says -97 error, daemon not available.

What causes that? I can't uninstall because of the running applications, I can't find the processes to stop the server, and I re-read the license file.

I'm worried that ptc is going to charge me to fix this, and I thought I'd hit you all up before I forked over the bucks. Any suggestions?

At least tell me how to uninstall the license server so I.can reinstall it. Thanks!

I uninstalled and re-installed the license server software. It still is no go.

I'm thinkin now that it has something to do with me shutting down my network adapter and then rebooting the computer - not the windows update - that's just a coincidence. However, i would imagine that a full re-install would help the situation.

Can someone with a maintenance contract please search this on the database and give me pointers?

Thanks!

"Shutting down the network adapter"?

You have to have a NIC for the license server to work.
