CST Student Edition, Error while checking certificate

I am unable to get CST Studio to work on my machine. Every time I try to start the program I get this error message, "Error while checking certificate. A connection with the server could not be established." The error message doesn't come up imediately. The program will open, then about 30 seconds later the error message come up.

How do I resolve this issue?
