Error 71, Usage Period Expired

Problem/Question
When Starting the RIP Software an error message shows up:
“The Usage Period has expired en-/decryption cannot be performed, Error 71"


This error message normally indicates that there is no valid license present in the dongle, and the trial period has reached it’s end.
In special cases it is also possible that a RIP version was started for wich the license was not created.
