powerGateServer returns "Specified value has invalid CRLF characters"

Description

When sending any request to powerGateServer it returns the error "powerGate.Erp.Client.WebRequestException: Auf dem Server ist bei der Verarbeitung der  Anforderung ein Fehler aufgetreten. Die Ausnahmemeldung lautet 'Der angegebene Wert besitzt ungültige CRLF-Zeichen. " (Specified value has invalid CRLF characters)

Cause

This happens on some systems in two known situations

* License has 30 days or less left

* The user, running powerGateServer doesn't have access to our license server, while using online activation

Solution

Extend your license and contact coolOrange support. Currently we can't replicate the issue on our systems and would like to investigate this further. We can also extend your license by an extra month so you don't lose any usage time on your license.

If it is the user's connection make sure the user that runs powerGateServer is able to contact our license server. Usually firewalls or proxy servers are responsible, though it is also plausible that a windows user might not have internet access at all.

I that is not possible use the offline activation.
