I have Vectorworks installed inside a VM which I can't activate using our Site Protection Server
The host is Ubuntu based Linux and the guest is a clean install of Windows 7 x64. I'm using VirtualBox as my VM host. Vectorworks installed fine, but I can't for the life of me get it to contact the license server we have setup.
Other machines can access the SPS server and activate Vectorworks just fine
The server has no IP ranges blocked (No ISV options are set whatsoever)
The server is pingable from the guest VM
The server web interface is accessible on port 5054 from the guest VM
The server has plenty of licenses available
The guest VM has no firewall
The VM host has no firewall
I have tried setting the virtual NIC to both NAT and Bridge modes.
I have tried both connecting via both hostname and IP address
Port is correct. (Default 5053)
No matter what I do I get a "Can't connect to the server" error.
