Been unable to connect to Sierra Charts through Trading Evaluator for 2 days now. Error message I'm getting is:

"Connection error message from service: Trading Evaluator | Logon error received from server. Secondary instance is not allowing connections to this server."

I've updated to the latest version of Sierra but still getting the same. Have also seen others had this recently and it went away. Any ideas on how to resolve?

Your computer or network is blocking the connection:

If you are running any third-party firewall software, disable that and if you are connecting from an office network make sure port 11096 is unblocked.
