So then I went to the second PC that would not connect and it was running V14 Sp1 update 7. So I upgraded it to V14 Sp1 Update 10 and hey presto, Updater connected to the server. So I went back to the first PC that had refused to connect вЂ“ it had vanilla flavoured V14.

Hey presto Updater connected to the server and immediately offered me V13 SP2 Update 4.

#TI CONNECT CE SOFTWARE MAKING CONNECTIONS INSTALL#

So then I installed V14, and it happened to be вЂ“ and this is centrally important вЂ“ V14 Sp1 Update 10 that I had an install disk for. (There are many explanations lying behind all of this that I must resist offering because they are not the point.) Updater refused to connect to the server even after updating Administrator and Licence Manager. I installed V13 first вЂ“ the install disk I had was SP1, but I could not find anywhere that I could access disks for SP2. It would need all versions of TIA Portal from V13 to V16. Then I got a brand-new laptop that I was to setup for one of our agents. What he actually did was temporarily disabled the firewall вЂ“ both ours and Windows вЂ“ and the anti-virus all together and still Updater would not connect to the server. My idea was that they could look at the firewall setup and see if they could see the difference. But in any case, I passed that comment on to our IT provision, and set up two PCs for them to remote connect to, one which connected and one that did not. The first flaw in that is that I had been trying to do some of the updates from home, outside the corporate network. The easiest thing to do is connect via another internet connection that has no VPN or connection to your corporate network to see ifВ it works.вЂ™ вЂIf your network/PC is IT managed, this means it is likely to be IT restrictions causing thisВ issue. I spoke to Siemens Technical Support and the material bit of their reply said this:

Our IT provision quickly resolved that, but it didnвЂ™t resolve the failure to connect to the server. On the first one that I tried to run the updater, our anti-virus helpfully reported that it was blocking access to the website, and even gave the url that it was blocking. LetвЂ™s be clear, the update to TIA Administrator and Automation Licence Manager were not the issue. It falls to me to update all of our copies of TIA Portal to V16 and I had a situation when I had two PCs that would connect to the server and three that would not, at any price. My frustration levels with TIA Portal Updater and that wretched вЂCannot connect to the serverвЂ™ message have been running very high. This then also updates the TIA Updater and the Corporate Server Configuration Tool.ДЄlso see this FAQ: Why can you not establish a connection to the SIEMENS Update Server with the TIA Administrator, TIA Updater or Corporate Server Configuration Tool? Using the newly installed TIA Administrator you can now update your TIA Portal versions. The new version should then connect again with the SIEMENS Update Server. In this case you download the next version of the TIA Administrator and install it. This is why out-of-date versions of the TIA Administrator, the TIA Updater or the Corporate Server Configuration Tool can no longer access the server. As per march 2020 the Siemens-Server doesnВґt support TLSv1.0 und TLSv1.1 anymore.
