• When I click the download link, my browser hangs. What should I do?
  • This issue occurs in some combinations of Internet Explorer and Windows. To resolve, right click on the link and choose "Save Target As".
• I am having problems starting or completing a download. What should I do?
  • Your browser must be configured to accept cookies and have downloading enabled. For users who prefer to specify the domains from which they accept cookies, our download domain is empowersdc.softwareag.com
  • Using a download manager may help if you are having trouble connecting or completing a download. Some managers we have used successfully are:
    
    • SpeedBit
    • GetRight
  • Note that some smaller items in our system are stored in such a way that they won't work with a download manager.
  • Make sure you are using a supported browser.
  • If downloading through a firewall or proxy server, contact your system administrator to make sure downloads are allowed through the firewall and that your system is configured properly to allow downloads.
  • If using a dial-up modem and ISP, contact your ISP's technical support group and explain the problem. They may be able to help you resolve the issue.
  • Wait, then try again! Intermittent problems happen regularly on the Internet for a variety of reasons. You may have better luck if you close your browser completely, wait a while, restart your browser, then reattempt the download.
• My browser hangs after getting a dialog "the requested page has both secure and unsecure items". What can I do?
  • Depending on how your browser is configured, launching the download by choosing products from your download list may cause a dialog to open notifying you that you are about to leave a secure site. If you click "Yes" to this and the subsequent dialog "the requested page has both secure and unsecure items" appears, the browser may hang. The workaround is to check the "don't show me this dialog box in the future" checkboxes on both dialogs. The download will still fail, but exit and restart the browser and the download should succeed.
• The download status reaches 99% and then the browser appears to hang, what's wrong?
  • Many virus scanning programs automatically scan downloaded files. As many of the files downloadable from here are quite large, 20MB or more, this scan can take several minutes. Be patient, the scan will eventually complete.
