These same steps can be followed when you receive a -715 error | Base key required
This error can occur after the Hardware ID has changed on your PC—often after a major hardware or software update. Common causes for this error include cloning the virtual machine that PC*MILER is on and trying to use the clone or changing the virtual machine's CPU resources.
To fix it, your 25-character Product Key Code must be reset.
- Email your Product Key Code to support@trimblemaps.com. You can find your key code by opening the PC*MILER License Tool that was installed with your software.
- You will receive a notification when your code has been reset.
- Delete the file licp9.dat file in your App folder (Default Location: c:\ALK Technologies\PCMILERXX\App).
- Open the License Status (ALK.PCMiler.LicenseTool.exe in the App folder), choose Add License. Re-enter product key information and click to activate.
- Confirm Activation.
NOTE: For our Support Team to reset your key code, your license must be under a support contract.
