Troubleshooting

ERROR - 'Internet connection is unavailable', or plug-in racks never finish initialising


Cause - licence check failed


Solution - Ensure you have the correct licence on your iLok, and that the iLok dongle is connected to the VENUE system

  • Re-initialise the plug-in racks by:
    • Restarting the system or
    • go to OPTIONS, PLUG-INS
    • Right click any of the installed plug-ins in the right-hand list and select 'Disable'
    • Right click the plug-in again and select 'Enable'


Reassurance - You do not need to connect your VENUE system to the internet
