“A referral was returned by the server”

Problem:

When starting Clipboard Master and error with 

“A referral was returned by the server”

is shown.

Solution:

1.
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet.
(Windows needs to verify the digital Signatur of Clipboard Master prüfen, otherwise it it might not be able to verify the digital sigtnature and just displays the error above.)

2.
In case the computer is only and the error still appears, there might be a problem with the automatic update of the root certificates, which usually should be done automatically with the windows update. On some Windows 7 systems this may hand. To solve this, do these steps:

- Load this file (from Microsoft):
   http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe
-  Ruin that file with the parameter /q:
   rootsupd.exe /Q
   (e.g.press Windows + R drücken, clear the input field, the drag and drop the file rootsupd.exe to it, and append /Q)

Maybe an additional patch is required, before starting rootsupd.exe /Q:
