Dictionary cannot be opened
If there is a red symbol on the dictionary icon then it cannot be opened because a licence is no longer available.

If you have a single subscription, this may occur if you are accessing the online dictionary in two different browsers or on two different devices simultaneously. The problem also occurs when you do not log off correctly and log in again after a few minutes. The licence is immediately free again only after you have logged off correctly.

If you have several concurrent licences, then more people are currently trying to access the dictionary than there are available licences. If this occurs relatively often, we recommend you increase the number of licences. Please contact us.
