Getting a license server error in Visual Studio 2019, mentions the localhost IP 127.0.0.1 – Visual COBOL – Forum

Chris,

Good morning,

My setup is Windows 10 and the 365 day trial version of Visual Studio and Visual Cobol.

The error dialog I mentioned is from Visual Studio and reads thus:

Unable to determine the status of the product license.

Error details: Unable to determine the status of the product license.

Error [5]: Cannot talk to the license server on host “127.0.0.1”, Server may not be running.

I never got a window or dialog for Micro Focus License Manager, so there was no Summary tab info to be had.

In an effort to remove a solution from Visual Studio yesterday, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it.  Then, seeing no COBOL templates or information, I ran the vcvs2019_60 installer again and chose “Repair installation.”  That brought back the Micro Focus COBOL integration to Visual Studio, but I now get the Cannot talk to the license server on host “127.0.0.1”, Server may not be running. error from Visual Studio so I cannot proceed with my COBOL tutorial.

Maybe I should uninstall/reinstall vcvs2019_60, but I will await your reply.
