When Signing In to my application, the License Manager opens with a message about an invalid token - what should I do?
Problem
When I launch my application and have asked to stay Signed In or try to Sign In I see a messge "The token is invalid" or "No valid cached token was found".
Information
The token stored in your system to verifiy your license is either corrupt or expired and blocking the Sign In process from completing. This can be for a number of reasons including the computer clock being incorrect.
Possible Solution(s)
Solution 1
Check the time and date of your PC - the token is stamped with the date and time and if the PC clock is out by more than 5 mins you will get one of the above errors.
