If you are having problems running ScriptX components and the error is 'Access denied' or MeadCo Security Manager shows the error 'The license format is invalid' and/or reports the error code 0x800403ee then you have the following options for resolving the problem.

Administrators :: upgrade your clients to ScriptX 7.7 or later and request we issue new license file

ScriptX 7.7 and later use a new method for validating licenses that does not rely on the Windows Root Certificate Store being up to date and does not require an internet connection (this was only required for root certificates updates and revocation checking).

If this is appropriate for your environment, please contact us for a re-issue of your current license (there is no charge for this) and guidance on deployment in your organisation.

Root

Root certificate update is ony appropriate when you are using a license file issued before 1st January 2016 or ScriptX version 7.6 or earlier.

The Quick Guide

  • If you are using ScriptX v6.6 or later with Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 and are not connected to the Internet, connect to the Internet and try using ScritpX again.

Each of the following solutions require administrator rights on your machine and you may need to contact your system administrator.

  • If you are able to install a new version of ScriptX go to our upgrade page to install the latest version.
  • If Root CA Update is disabled in Windows, re-enable Root CA Update, ensure you are connected to the Internet and try again.
  • If Root CA Update is disabled in Windows and cannot be re-enabled, please review 'How to get a root certificate update for Windows' by Microsoft, download the Root CA update kit and run it. Ensure you are connected to the Internet and try again.
  • If Root CA Update is disabled in Windows and cannot be re-enabled and the PC cannot be connected to the Internet then using another PC please review 'How to get a root certificate update for Windows' by Microsoft, download the Root CA update kit and also download the intermediate code signing certificate: https://knowledge.verisign.com/library/VERISIGN/ALL_OTHER/Certificates/Code2010/VeriSign_Class_3_Code_Signing_2010_CA.cer and then copy both files via internal network or usb stick to disconnected PCs. Run the Root CA update kit and install the intermediate code signing certificate on the disconnected PCs.

Technical Guide

We use Authenticode signing to ensure that the right code and license files are being used. We have been doing this for many many years -- it provides assurance to users that the code and licenses being used are what they say they are. Note that it is now a common requirement that Operating System and 3rd party components are properly signed.

As part of our committment to a secure environment, it is a requirement that we can validate code and licenses. To do this, you must keep the root Certificate Store up to date.

There are many good reasons for keeping the certificate store up to date, including that doing so will maintain the revocation list by which known bad CAs are revoked. If you do not do this, you risk accepting files/applications that have fake signing information.

If the root CA certificate store is out of date then you will see one or more of the following symptoms:

  • An authenticode error during installation of ScriptX because the installation file cannot be validated.
  • The error 'The license file format is not valid' when a license file is used.
  • If you inspect the installation of license file properties using Windows Explorer and the Digital Certificate tab an error will be shown (The certificate in the signature cannot be verified).
  • The error 'The license file format is not valid' when a license file is used and the error code 0x800403ee when using ScriptX 7.1 or later.

If you encounter this error the most reliable fix is to update to the latest version of ScriptX.

If you are are unable to update ScriptX, then you may be able to manually update the root certificates stored on the machine. However, please note that root certicates update will only work for PCs that have a connection to the Internet. If the PCs are not connected to the Internet then an Intermediate CA must also be added manually.

Windows Vista or later

If you are using Windows Vista or later the root and Intermediate CAs should update automatically. If you have disabled this, we strongly recommend you re-enable automatic update.

We recommend a thorough review of 'How to get a root certificate update for Windows' by Microsoft. The article discusses updates for Windows Vista and later including circumstances where automatic update has been disabled by Group Policy (there is a link to a technet artical giving a full technical background).

The referenced page also provides links to the Microsoft Update Catalog (all Windows versions) and also links to force re-sync.

Windows XP and disconnected PCs

Both root certificates and an Intermediate certificate CA must be installed.
