License in Limited Mode/An unexpected error has occured while refreshing license

Post by Support_Julie »

Question:
I am encountering an issue when I refresh my license saying that it's unable to reach online validation services. GoAnywhere is running in 'Limited Mode'. I also receive an unexpected error has occurred. How can i resolve this?

Answer:

Option 1:Import intermediary cert to Encryption > Key Management System > System Key Vault > Certificates > Import.

Cert name can be any alias that does not currently exist but we recommend using DigiCert TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 as the name.

Both of these changes do not require a restart of GoAnywhere.
