Fix Database Problems

Database problems have to do with records in the database that is causing a problem because of one of the following reasons.  

Computer date was turned foward

If you get a message that ROBOTILL is unable to validate the licence because of an incorrect computer date even though your computer date is correct, it means that at some point your computer date was turned forward and you did sales with a future date.

Even if your computer date is now correct, there are still sales in the system with a future date that will cause problems. 

Contact ROBOTILL Support. They will email you instructions that you can follow to fix the problem. 

Please note: ROBOTILL Support will email you instructions on how to move all the sales with a future date back to one date and time in the past. This will resolve your licensing issue, but your reports will obviously not be correct. It is important that you find out why your computer date was turned forward and prevent it from happening again. You can set Windows to automatically sync the date and time if the computer connects to the internet.
