We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

@bpcarty,

The error indicates that you are having intermittent network connection issues with your license server. licensing error: -5 and licensing error: -15

This typically happens if you are connecting to the server via Internet/VPN. Fixing the network connectivity issues should resolve the issue of not being able to connect and checkout the license from your server. Otherwise, you might have to host/run the licenses on a server on your local area network (LAN/same location) to avoid Internet/WAN connectivity issues.Â
