I have the problem to activate my new purchased Colasoft Capsa, I always get the error message: "Activate product failed, error 407". What is he reason fort this error?
A: HTTP Error 407 - Proxy authentication required. Your Web server thinks that the HTTP data stream sent from the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) was correct, but access to the URL resource requires the prior use of a proxy server that needs some authentication which has not been provided. This typically means your computer is configured to use an Internet proxy server, and before it can communicate with the Internet you must log in (enter user ID and password) with the proxy server first.

Please disable the Internet proxy server and try the activation again, or send us your Serial Number and Installation ID to manually generate a Confirmation ID.

For problems of hardware we have had to install this new version in another PC. On having activated it in the new PC gives us this error: 12007.
A: This error occurs when one of three things happens.
  • There is no current connection to the Internet.
  • The Internet connection you have is not a good connection.
  • There is something blocking the download. (Firewall)

If you are able to go to websites such as www.colasoft.com then most likely your Internet connection is active. If you can not get to that site, try to restart your Internet connection. If you still get the error after restarting your Internet connection you probably have a Firewall that is blocking the access to the Colasoft server. If you have a Firewall, you would need to add the Colasoft program to the safe list.

I have the version 5.0, but after login, I was unable to find it listed in My Product.
A: Only the products customer ordered via our sales system can be listed as a product alone. A possible reason for no such a product is that you had purchased a previous version product and free upgraded to the version 5.0 within the maintenance period.
