I have seen that some people have had problems accessing Licence Manager but their queries do not seem to solve my problem.
I have not used Licence Manager since I last installed a new paid for simulation which was some time ago. I have now purchased a new laptop and will be relocating the software to this computer in the near future. As a precursor I thought I would check out what is shown in Licence Manager before I start.
If I enter my username and password into the relevant boxes and click Log In I receive the following message; HTTP Secure Socket is not supported.
If I attempt to use Forgotten Username or Forgotten Password I am directed to a standard HTTP Error 404.0 Not Found page.
Do I need to download or reinstall the loader files or will something else sort my problem? I am using a laptop running Windows 7. The replacement will be a Windows 10 laptop - is this going to cause further problems?

Thank you for any assistance that can be given.

I suspect the issue you have on the Windows 7 machine, is that TLS isn't turned on in your internet explorer options.

In which case I would guess that Anti-Virus / Firewall is blocking the connection

Managed to find time to test out the firewal/antivirus idea but having switched them off I still cannot use licence manager.
Would I be able to get the licence(s) freed up to use on my new pc after the old laptop has been formatted and rebuilt for use elsewhere?

Yes you'll just need to request an unlock via the license manager on the new PC.

Hello I have recently purchased York and Edinburgh, and installed the most recent version of the Simsig loader. I am having this identical issue on a Windows 10 PC and have not achieved any resolution by temporarily blocking my antivirus program, Avast.
Can I have some help with this issue? It still says "HTTP secure socket not supported".

The License Manager is obsolete, so what version of the Loader are you using? Licenses are allocated using that.

FWIW I've never seen that message, so information about whether you're using Windows 10 or something else would be helpful.

I currently have V5.6; the problem that happens when I load either York or Edinburgh is that they show as demo version only, despite my licenses showing up on the Simsig website.

Have you signed in on the Loader?
