We have the same issue - it's fine for myself, but one of our developers get's the same results as you.

You don't mention it, but if he ignores the fact that it's not licensed and tries to connect to our development machine, he gets the following errors:

We've tried all sorts of things but cannot get his version to work.

Anyone got any other ideas?

I found the issue by looking at the ErrorList View. 

for some reason it was looking in wrong spot on disk for our key. 

I rename the folder it was looking in and then went through the steps of applying the key.    

then everything was good.

Hi, 
Could you please give me some details?

I found the issue by looking at the ErrorList View. for some reason it was looking in wrong spot on disk for our key. I rename the folder it was looking in and then went through the steps of applying the key.   

What was the specific wrong disk space path?
The correct disk space path was[RDi_9.8_RPGCOBOLTools_AU_Lic_Act_Kit_P2.zip] is the path where it resides?
