Hi team!

Every time I open Captivate, the log-in pop-up above appears. Upon entering the login ID, it displays the above message and the application closes automatically. Please help us resolve this issue at the earliest. We have referred to the following links but we are still unable to resolve the issues:

Are you connected to the WWW? Reason for that is that some features in Captivate require to be online.

Hi,

We are connected to the internet. We have referred to the trouble shooring guide as well but the issue still persists. Please suggest if there is anything else that we can try from our end. Thank you!

I have seen those links, which are for CC applications and are not always functional for Captivate which is not included in the CC apps.

Do you have a CC license as well? If yes, try to log out of the CC app while Captivate is closed, than log in to the CC app again and open Captivate. It is a way to refresh the synchornisation with the Adobe fonts eventually used in Captivate. It is just a guess.

I don't think Captivate itself is corrupted, but you could have also a look at my blog post: https://blog.lilybiri.com/tips-for-troubleshooting

BTW: which exact version of CP are you using? You find the full version number under Help, About Captivate.

May I ask: Are you are using Captivate from a corporate network when you see this message?

If so, then the possibility is that your organisation has a firewall that is blocking Captivate from being able to verify your user license when Captivate opens.

Are you able to try opening Captivate from a location OUTSIDE your organisation, e.g. from your home address? If you do not see the same message, then it wold tend to confirm that the issue is that your license is being blocked by some firewal or filtering at work.
