   "Unable to renew license for 1 attempt(s). Your license will expire in 2 day(s). Please contact frevvo for help."

You will also see the following error in the tomcat log file:

   WARNING: License monitor: failed to authorize start up for 0 attempts. Next attempt in 1 hours.

This is often caused by running your web app container (ex: tomcat) under a SUN JDK or JRE that is not version 1.5.0 update 8 or later. Verify that you are running with the required JDK or JRE. If not, to solve this, download & install JDK or JRE 1.5.0 version 8 or later from http://www.sun.com. Set your JAVA_HOME on windows to the JDK or JRE install directory on your computer. Then restart your web app container.

This may also be caused by an incorrect string content in your customer.lic file. Look in the location where you put your frevvo users directory. Verify that a a customer.lic file exists in a subdirectory named .frevvo. Edit the customer.lic file and verify that the content is correct. This file must contain a single line which is the license key sent to you via email when you downloaded frevvo.zip.

Unable to contact license server

This may be due to your external http traffic being routed through a proxy server.

If your company uses a Proxy Server,  your  Form Server may not be able to communicate with the license server directly.  has web configuration parameters to enable communication from the Form Server to the license server via your proxy. Edit the following parameters in <frevvo installdir>/frevvo/tomcat/webapps/frevvo/WEB-INF/web.xml or override them at the container level by putting the parameters into frevvo.xml, eg: on Tomcat in tomcat/config/catalina/localhost/frevvo.xml.

 Set frevvo.proxy.ldap to true to enable NTLM authentication proxy access.
