1. Check multiple machines are not connecting to Linkly IP Gateway

Hi Mitch,

If you're getting Client Deactivated, you may need to flush out the User ID in the registry by following the steps below:

  1. Click on the Windows start button
  2. Click on “Run…”
  3. In the open field type “regedit” and press OK
  4. Navigate to
    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Remedy\EFTSRV\SERVER (32 bit windows)
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Remedy\EFTSRV\SERVER (64 bit windows)
  5. On the right, look for the key USID
  6. Double click on the USID field (it will be full of random characters)

  1. Delete out the characters to make the field blank and then press on OK (This will force new keys to be generated when connecting back to the gateway servers)
    1. If the customer is with "CBA" bank there's an additional registry key that must be deleted
