I understand that SW2011B does not require a license file... Even so, I too, am having problems getting the SNL to "get information from this server". I have successfully activated, and I see a list of Currently Activated Products, but when I go to License Usage, I get the error "Could not get information from this server", and SW will not run and gives the error "Could not obtain a license... the desired daemon is down (-97,121,0)".
