Good afternoon,
Every time i try to open photoview it freezes on not responding and never finished loading. Can this be associated with a network license being unavailable due to a bad connection? It doesn't give any license errors, just freezes. I did not modify the contents of the program folder, add or remove any software files. This is solidworks 2011
Thanks
Thank you Brendon, I was banging my head off keyboard wondering why photoview would not work.
Brendon,
As far as I can see the Bonjour service is used for multi-user networked installations.
I only have a standalone license, and have the problem where PhotoView flashes up for a fraction of a second and then disappears again.
Any thoughts?
Hi Andrew.
I also only have a stand-alone licence. The Bonjour service is definitely used by photoview as it initiates. I had deleted the service which caused the described issues. If the service is still running I would check that both Photoview and Bonjour have adequate permissions within the firewall and if not there then maybe check network issues such as TCP/IP - DNS settings. If windows was not able to obtain the DNS server automatically the license validation service may timeout. ( I had this issue with win 8.1 and draftsight )
I wold be intrested to know the final solution. Best of luck.
Hi, I hope that you have resolved this problem by now. It sounds like the same problem I had and finally found a solution to.
For the benefit of others swearing at their computer . . .
Photoview 360 window flicking up briefly before terminating and SW freezing for some time before recovering.
Photoview 360 not responding
Photoview 360 not working
Check to see that the "Bonjour" Service is running. If it is not installed you can download from apple website. Modifying the SW install will re-install this service but a repair will not.
Hope that saves someone some time.
