Cannot contact key-server. Please check your network settings. *RESOLVED

Worked with the machine all day yesterday troubleshooting and upgrading to the latest beta release - all was working fine for the most part.

Today I started it up to find that the array would not start due to this error - Cannot contact key-server. Please check your network settings.

Reboot did not resolve - is it possible their activation servers are down? Or is this an issue on my end that I can resolve with some help from you guys?

Thanks for the reply Squid,

 

I made the DNS and IP static and the issue persists.

 

I am most definitely connected to the network as I can ping websites from the machine.

 

Do we know their activation server address?

 

UPDATE: I deleted the key file manually from the USB - rebooted and went through the registration process again - issue still persists

 

RESOLVED: Rebuilt USB stick with a clean version - discovered that my issue was probably being caused by an incorrect time/date in unraid settings. Sorry for the post and thanks for the help!

CMOS battery completely dead on my server - date was Dec 2000 - chaning date resolved my issue!
