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.

Hello Ron, 

The whole server ID key must match between server_data and LSTC_LICENSE_INFO file. Did anything change in the machine that runs the license server? Is the LSTC License Manager running on a VM? 

The LSTC License Manager can operate on a Virtual Machine (VM). However, if the virtual machine experiences downtime (due to maintenance, power outage, etc.) or is rebooted, the LSTC License Manager will not start again because it detects a hardware change (HOST ID change). This issue arises because the vmxnet3 interface functions as a Virtual Machine Ethernet adapter, rather than physical hardware. To restart the LSTC License Manager, a new license key is required. We advise configuring the LSTC License Manager to run on a dedicated hardware to avoid such disruptions.

Please reach out to the account manager to re-issue a new license file. 

Thank you,
Alex
