I like to know how I can register (new) client licenses on a server that runs on OS X? At the client license link in the admin page I only see: > **Client License Information** > You are running Servoy Developer. > Client licenses can only be registered when running Servoy Application Server. > Developer keys can be registered in the preferences section of Servoy Developer. Is there a separate application server for OS X or do I need to enter the client licenses somewhere else? ---

There is a separate server application. You can start it by entering this in a terminal window: ./Applications/Servoy/servoy\_server.sh Also see this article on Servoy Magazine by Marcel: [http://www.servoymagazine.com/home/2004 … w\_to\_.html](http://www.servoymagazine.com/home/2004/11/article_how_to_.html) ---

ow… After following exactly Marcel’s instructions, the application can’t connect to the repository server anymore… ![:cry:]( "Crying or Very sad") > java.sql.SQLException: JZ006: Caught IOException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused Anybody any idea what this could mean? ---

Karel, Have you modified your file? I remember there was a comment on Servoy Magazine with the same error if I am correct. The tip should work fine, it did for me and others… ---

Have you remembered to start the database? Take a look in the Mac OS X activity monitor to check it is running. ---

> IT2BE: > Karel, > > Have you modified your file? I remember there was a comment on Servoy Magazine with the same error if I am correct. The tip should work fine, it did for me and others… I finally got it figured out AND WORKING!! ![:D]( "Very Happy") Awesome job Marcel! The problem occured because of false folder permission settings. I used ‘Repair Disk Permissions’ with Disk Utility to fix it. I’ve one question still: As soon as I close the Terminal window that ‘starts’ servoy\_server.sh, the Application Server quits too. I guess this windows needs to stay open? ---

> swingman: > Have you remembered to start the database? Yes I did… problem had to do with folder permissions (see earlier post). But thanks for thinking along!
