Can't log in, error 506 (duplicate activator code).


Recommended Posts

I am using Retrospect 6 on a MacOS Xserve

Trying to connect to a PC running version 6 client.

 

Everytime I try to connect I get the error Can't log in, error 506 (duplicate activator code).

I can forget and reconnect to any other windows client and it works.

 

I tried to uninstall the client and reinstall but it did not help.

The client is version 6.5.136. When I tried to reinstall I downloaded a fresh copy from the updates area of this website.

 

Retrospect server is version 6.0.204

Driver update version is 5.9.104

Is the Windows computer a Laptop or other with a second network card? If so, the only solution I have found is to take the Windows Retro Client down to v6.0.x.

 

Actually, I have found that many of my rampant problems with backing up Windows Clients is to move the client to Retrospect for Windows Client 6.0.x...

Single network card is active on the windows server.

 

I just tried to add a second windows server and I get the same error so it looks like a problem coming from the server side, not the client. If I choose the info button I can get a bit of info on these clients but not add them to the client list.
