As of the latest ETAP versions (20.8.0 and beyond), the company is gradually moving toward subscription-based named user licensing and cloud-hosted token verification. The classic hasplms server is being supplemented by direct HTTPS calls to ETAP’s authentication cloud. etap license path selection verified

In this new model, the “license path” becomes a URL like https://licensing.etap.com/api/v2/verify. The "ETAP license path selection verified" message will still appear, but it will now indicate an SSL/TLS handshake with a cloud server.

Prepare now by ensuring your corporate firewall allows outbound HTTPS to *.etap.com and that your system clock is synchronized via NTP (SSL certificates fail if time is off by more than 5 minutes).

Background: A global engineering firm acquired a smaller renewable energy company. Both used ETAP but with different licensing models. Post-merger, engineers kept receiving "path not verified" across the VPN. License Server Details: As of the latest ETAP

Diagnosis:

Solution: Using a PowerShell script deployed via SCCM, the IT team pushed a registry update to 200+ workstations, changing the path to the new consolidated license server:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ETAP\Licensing\2000" -Name "LicensePath" -Value "27000@new-global-server.corp.com"

Within 24 hours, the verification success rate went from 42% to 99%. The missing 1% was resolved by updating Windows firewall rules on three laptops. Signed:

Key Takeaway: Even a “verified” path yesterday can break tomorrow if infrastructure changes are not mirrored in ETAP’s configuration.
