Hello!

It looks like RCS is failing to connect to the Database. Can you check if you Database service is running?

If yes, then we would need to check how RCS is connecting to Database/Repository. The RCS needs to be connected directly with the Database so it can act as a bridge between the Clients and the Database. You can change the connection type by going into Launcher option > Select Repository > Direct Connection.

Do let us know how it goes.

@karpreet All managed to get it working all is good now thanks for your help,

i do have a follow up question: I believe you don’t need to run a licensing server if under 10 deadline workers are active can you confirm if this is correct?
