To fix this, restart Graitec's installationand do a REPAIR on Advance Concrete.If you have a previous version of Graitec Advance, before proceeding,uninstall Graitec License Server (Control Panel\Programs and Features).If any other problems occur (they shouldn't though), just reinstall everything.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Burn or mount the ISO.
