If the license server cannot be reached, Syslog Watcher reports that the operation could not be performed automatically and opens a Web Link window.

That window shows the request URL and:

  • Open Link — opens the URL in the default browser (use this on a computer that has Internet access)

  • Copy Link — copies the URL

  • Save Link — saves a .url shortcut

  • A QR code (Link in QR code) for the same URL (scan from a phone or another computer)

Open the link on a system with Internet access. The license server returns a license file (.txt). Save that file (for example to a USB drive or a share the Syslog Watcher computer can read).
