Troubleshooting Trusted Storage (TS) Error

The Hexagon CLM software utilizes the Flexara technology called Trusted Storage (TS).

An error that most typically occurs is when this message appears: "TS record invalid."

Under normal circumstances, a successfully activated license is in the "Fully Trusted" state. To verify this:

  1. Click the View installed licenses link in the upper-left corner of the CLM Admin utility.

  2. Click the Features link located in the upper-right area of the next screen.

    The next screen displays a list of features. The right-most column (State) normally shows the "Fully trusted" status for each item.

If any of these items show a state other than "Fully trusted", you can reset your Trusted Storage system and re-activate the license. However, if you do this, it removes all entitlements on your computer, and you will need to re-activate them.

Saving Entitlement Information

Before proceeding, make sure you have your entitlement information in a safe place before you reset Trusted Storage.

Resetting Trusted Storage

  1. Next, the Trusted Storage system needs to be reset. To do this, click View installed licenses in the upper-left corner:

  2. Next, click Reset TS in the middle of the window.

    The "Reset TS" link is only enabled if the state of one or more of your entitlements is not "Fully trusted".

    The Reset Trusted Storage warning message appears.

  3. Click Yes to continue. After this operation, the list of entitlements area displays "no licenses available":

  4. All entitlements will need to be re-activated. If you saved them to a document using the previous steps, you can copy and paste each Entitlement ID into CLM Admin to complete this process.
