[GIS] Starting ArcMap says system clock has been set back more than 24 hours

arcgis-10.2arcgis-desktoparcgis-license-managerwindows 7

In order to test my log4net logging daily, I changed my clock to be 2 days later.

When I changed back the clock to normal, I cannot start ArcMap, I get a message:

The system clock has been set back more than 24 hours

I found a possible solution provided by Esri, but it not work.

Is there another solution for it?

I am using Wndows 7 and ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop.

Best Answer

I'll suggest that you contact ESRI Support services.

This problem is due to the License Server noticing the change of time. It is done to prevent people form using the software beyond the license period.

They will probably give you a new license file.
