We have the same problem Dec 14, 2013

Yes, the server has been dead for 7+ hrs now. See my thread.
No customer service, no tech support, get in line, some time after Christmas you may get a response.
Good luck, we both need it

I’ll join that line! Dec 14, 2013

Hi,

There does seem to be a problem affecting access to not only the licensing server at the moment. I’m sure the IT team will be working on this and will restore service as soon as they can.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards

Paul

Problem NOT solved, further customer service links supplied not working either!

This is costing me time and money.

..doesn't appear to know what the right hand is doing! Company-internal communications need a bit of a tweak, perhaps?

Still incommunicado (and no, it's not a small South-American country...)

Why? Dec 15, 2013

The only confusion here seems to be between you and I. You probably won't get a response today because the licensing team work Mon-Fri.
