Connectivity requirements for online or floating license activation
In order to perform online license activation or to use a floating license, Imatest needs to be able to perform name resolution or connect through a network to the following licensing servers:
Server | Name | IP Address | Port | Protocol |
login | store.imatest.com | 216.55.185.175 | 443 | https |
license | my.nalpeiron.com | 184.106.60.185 | 443 | https |
Making Dynamic Range Measurements Robust Against Flare Light
Introduction
A camera’s Dynamic Range (DR) is the range of tones in a scene that can be reproduced with adequate contrast and good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Camera DR is often limited by flare light, which is stray light in the image, primarily caused by reflections between lens elements. Flare light reduces DR by fogging images; i.e., washing out detail in dark areas. (more…)

Error -4304: Users having problems activating licenses or starting trials
Recently we have been receiving reports of end-users in China being blocked from accessing the Imatest license servers (IP address 184.106.60.185).
A message such as “SOAP couldn’t connect to host; Error code -4304″ may be displayed.
Here are the current workarounds to resolve this issue for this subset of end-users:
- End-users have had success using a VPN to tunnel to either another location within China that is not impacted by an ISP block, or outside of China. This is typically the easiest solution to address the issue.
- Use offline activation: The offline activation portal accessible through store.imatest.com is still functional.
Note: this offline activation approach works both for individual node-locked licenses as well as offline activation of network-based licenses within the Nalpeiron LAN Daemon – which then allows floating licensing, element pools, floating features, etc. all to be used within the application.
- There is a relay server with the IP address 119.9.127.11. You can use the proxy address to 119.9.127.11 (port 80) and use that to redirect back to our standard servers.
- Review our Connectivity requirements for online or floating license activation
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact us at support@imatest.com with any difficulties you have.
