  11. You receive the following notification: "The CodeMeter Service is not available. Make sure that the Windows 'CodeMeter Runtime Server' service is running." This means that you will have to restart the Windows service via the Windows Task Manager, Services tab, in order to log in again.

    Option 2: License your Congree Authoring Server, see IT Manager – Licensing.

Note:

The author is able to work in the editor during the login process. The login process does not block the editing area.

Note:

The specific login behavior can be modified in the Congree Control Center. For example, you can determine that you can log in when a document is opened or that no login window is to be displayed. This chapter of the manual describes login using the default configuration.
