In this article we explain the error message error message:

This error is typically encountered when upgrading or installing a new version of GeoStudio and can be seen in the 'License Management' dialog box. 

Cause

• Using any given GeoStudio release requires a license with valid software maintenance.
• Software maintenance entitles you to use any new release of GeoStudio during the active maintenance period.
• Software maintenance also gives you access to priority technical support for installing and using the software.
• When software maintenance expires, renewal is optional.

Steps to Resolve

• If you want to use the newer version of GeoStudio, you will need to renew the software maintenance for your license.
• If you do not want to renew your software maintenance, you will need to install an older version of GeoStudio that your license supports.
• Licenses with maintenance expired over 2 years cannot be renewed and a new license must be purchased.
• When a GeoStudio version retires, all downloads are removed from availability.  If you want to install an older version, you must use your archived copy of the installer.
