My vSpace Manager does not reflect the information from the Management Portal.

My vSpace Manager does not reflect the information from the Management Portal.

Why there seems to be a delay? 

Changes that you make on your local environment, may take some time to upload to the Management Portal and vice versa as vSpace Pro automatically obtains updated licensing information from the Management Portal about once per week.

A good example of this is the following:


When upgrading to vSpace Pro Enterprise (our subscription-based version 12 of our platform), if the vSpace Manager delays on receiving updated information / status from the Management Portal, you will still experience the trial mode in our software and it will not allow more than 5 sessions to log in, or vSpace session gets disconnected every 10 minutes. (until the licensing has propagated in the local environment and the trail mode is clear)


Troubleshooting steps: 

At the end of each step, try to repeat and check if the issue is resolved. If not, proceed to the next step until it is.

1. Check for obstructions in your network and security. As a first precaution, please ensure that ports are open in your network; so, there is a fluent, uninterrupted, communication with our Management Portal.


2. Click on the refresh button in the vSpace manager in question. This should ping the Management Portal and invoke a refresh of data. Please wait for 2-minutes before you check if the issue is resolved.

  



3. Reboot the server. This is where the vSpace Manager is installed. After reboot, wait for 2-minutes, perform step 2 above to check if the issue is resolved.

4. Re-register the vSpace Manager in order to synchronize immediate changes.

The following process involves a re-registration of local vSpace Manager. Keep your account username and password handy as you are going to need them to perform a new registration. 
  1. Make sure that the devices have been truly disconnected. Every device that you do not want to be reported to the Management Portal, needs to be removed from your network and be put away. This will prevent the unit from broadcasting its serial number and, in turn, be reported again to the Management Portal as active.   
  2. Unregister your vSpace Manager in the Host Machine. You will be asked to confirm. Once you proceed, the application will close.                                                                          
  3. Ensure that your vSpace Manager has indeed been removed from the Management Portal.
    1. Login to your NComputing Management Portal in the www.ncomputing.com website with your account credentials. 
    2. Navigate to My vSpace Installations > My vSpace Managers and make sure that the vSpace Manager you just disconnected is not showing here. However, in the event that you still see the unregistered vSpace Manager, at the very right of the row, you will see a ‘Disconnect’ label. Click on it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
    3. Confirm the 'Disconnect' action. Once your server is fully disconnected, any NComputing devices associated to this vSpace Manager will be removed from the Management Portal reporting.                                                                                                                                               
  4. Register again your vSpace Manager with your same account credentials as before.                                                                                                                       
Once the new registration of your vSpace Manager is completed, wait for about 10-minutes, your licensing should have propagated correctly and you should experience the desired improvement.
