ABM Alchemex Enabling Dongle Endless Loop
Issue - there is an endless loop trying to serialise ABM Alchemex.
Resolution
Please complete the serialisation process on the workstation that hosts the ABM Accounts folder. The serialisation process is attempting to add entries to the Alchemex.svd file which is more than often hosted in the ABM Accounts folder (unless set up differently). There may often be an issue updating this file across the network.
Please note: This applies to all Intelligence Reporting modules when trying to update the .svd file across the network.
