I will be tempted to answer that yes, it is the server that sends the error code GL instead of a license because it is normally he who must confirm the non validation of the license in case of problem and give it details so that securom can warn the user! But I could be wrong !
the causes :
- problem on the server proxy
- The file contains a validity certificate that has expired! This is an idiotic case and the file should not contain it but the error can be human when integrating securom in the game.
this error is already produced in the past with the EPIC sudio for the game gear of war, they were forced to release a fix!
EA has already made the same mistake on the boxed version of crysis warhead! At the end of the installation, securom verifies an expiration date which is precisely problematic because I have already seen topics on the forum that deals with this! the check blocks at 30% and displays an error! to circumvent it was enough to back down the year of the windows calendar to 2014 and restart the procedure! Once the procedure is successful, the current date is reset and online activation is not a problem.
are just tracks, because like you I do not see why the server can suddenly become whimsical on this or that version of the file! there is necessarily a counter order that forces the license server to not take into account the file!
Alas my knowledge stops, I'm not inside the file, and neither in the license server! I was one of the first to warn EA by the support (a little deaf in the way) and the French forum to report the problem and its cause! in spite of everything, I do not know why and how!
