If you are having trouble activating a license, it may be because your antivirus/firewall settings are blocking the connection to the ZSoil Protection Server. First try the following points :

  • HTTP protocol is used during activation, therefore port 80 should be opened for zsoil.com (IP 193.33.128.219).
  • Try bypassing the firewall by using the second activation button “Through zsoil.com website”

If you are still having issues, please don’t hesitate to contact support@zsoil.com
