Introduction

As part of our licensing change in V4, we also force TLS 1.2 for requests to the Realisable license ‘server’.

Because the licensing component is using an older version of .net IMan requires the server/workstation to have the current windows updates applied.

This should be pretty easy! Windows Updates are typically set to run automatically, and if not they can be run by clicking a single button.

In fact if you haven’t run Windows updates, you’re at risk of bugs/failures and also present a security risk. So, there’s no real reason not to.

You say -“I object to running updates, unless they’re necessary.”

We say – “You’re probably not a security expert and if you are you’re not privy to the code that patches Windows to plugs security flaws & bugs, so just do it.”

Resolution

RUN WINDOWS UPDATES

After updates are complete & the server is restarted, the Check TLS function should succeed.
