Could not communicate with the upgrade server

The Yearli program is unable to communicate with Greatland's servers to apply updates.

Check for Internet access

  • Open any available Internet browser to verify an active Internet connection is present.

Check for firewalls/anti-virus/proxy server software

  • Check for any running firewalls or anti-virus/anti-spyware software.
  • Temporarily disable the firewall and security software, including the Windows Firewall.
  • Run the online update either from the server desktop, or from a standalone machine by clicking Update – Update Program Online from the main Yearli menu.

Create firewall exceptions

  • Create exceptions in firewalls, anti-virus/anti-spyware software, or proxy servers for the following:

Ports
HTTP (Port 80) - used by the program for updates
HTTP (Port 443) - used by the program for e-filing

Program Files
C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Greatland Corporation\Yearli or Yearli Workstation\20XX\GNWFPlus.exe*, where XX is the year of the program.
C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Greatland Corporation\Yearli or Yearli Workstation\20XX\WFUpdateUtil.exe*, where XX is the year of the program.

URLs
