This error is caused by one of the following:

  • The target network does not have a “Trial” or “Content”-Level subscription (see the “How can I buy subscriptions for BSN.cloud or BSN.com?” FAQ to purchase subscriptions). To see the player subscription status either:

    • Check the Subscription Information in the Dashboard page of BrightAuthor:connected

    • Go to the Manage > Status window in BrightAuthor

    • Go to the Groups page in the BrightSign Network WebUI and click the properties of the player.

  • The player serial number is not registered

  • The network name does not exist

  • The player has a suspended subscription or does not have subscription and there are no available subscriptions in its current network

  • The player cannot communicate with the AWS servers that host the BSN or BSN.cloud. A proxy server, firewall, or some other kind of network filter can intercept outbound traffic, blocking a BrightSign player:

    • See this page for a list of ports and URLs that need to be open for BSN.cloud.

    • See this page for a list of URLs and ports that need to be open for BSN.

    • In BrightAuthor or BrightAuthor:connected, you can test connectivity in the Diagnostic Web Server (DWS):

      1. Open the DWS and select the Diagnostics tab.

      2. Click the Run button under Network Diagnostics to run a network test and verify that the player can connect to the internet.

Uploads can fail for a variety of reasons (connectivity issues, file problems, permissions issues, etc.). Sometimes, just trying again will resolve the problem. Otherwise:

  • Verify that none of the files used in your project have been moved or renamed.

  • Test your internet connectivity

  • Try logging into your BSN account from another computer.

  • Make sure that necessary ports and servers aren't blocked on your network - see BSN Ports and URLs for Players and Software

  • If you are uploading from a browser, you may be using an unsupported web browser. We recommend using

Google
  • Chrome with the BSN Web UI.

  • You may lack permissions for content upload. Verify which role your user belongs to.

Your browser must have access to api.brightsignnetwork.com on port 443. Make sure this address and port aren't blocked by your firewall.

If you still can’t resolve this issue, find the eventlog.txt file on your computer (see this page for more information) and send the log to support@brightsign.biz
