I just installed BeerSmith 3 on my work computer. I tried to activate and got a message stating "The activation server at https://BeerSmithRecipes.com could not be reached. Check that your Antivirus and Firewall software is not blocking BeerSmith as well as your internet connection and try again using the Help->Activate selection."

I have added BeerSmith 3 to the apps that are allowed through the firewall. I have excluded BeerSmith from my antivirus and antimalware software. But it still isn't going through. I suspect that the problem is at my employer's servers, but I do not have access to adjust anything there.

Is there ANY way to activate my software on my work computer which does not require my employer to open up access? I work for a very large company, and I know for a fact that they would not allow access.
 
It's probably your employer's firewall. Not sure which port(s) Beersmith uses for activation, but perhaps it could be changed to something like Port 80 that would be allowed through.
 
Drop me an email at beersmith at beersmith.com and I may be able to help you activate it.
