SRI Troubleshooting Tips
Q: Some of my students receive error messages while
they take the test. What does it mean when my students
receive the following error codes: !50, !53, c41, or L4?
A: These errors normally occur due to interruptions in the
network connection or increased network traffic. If your
students receive these error messages, they should simply try
to do their work again. If these error messages persist, please
contact your network administrator to investigate any potential
network problems.
SRI Troubleshooting Tips
Q: In Enterprise Edition, why does my student receive a
message that they are already logged in on another
computer when they are not?
A: If the student application is abnormally terminated, the
student’s server login may have to time out before they can log
back in. Please be sure that students are not exiting the
program by force-quitting or using ctrl-alt-del. This error
message will normally disappear after a few minutes.

Troubleshooting for SRC!
Q: Why does SAM time out when I’m trying to save a quiz
that I’ve created in the Teacher Made Quiz tool?
A: This happens because as each question and answer set is
created in the Teacher Made Quiz tool, data is being cached, or
hidden, before it is saved to the database. Therefore, SAM may
time out if no data has been written to the server in the past 20
minutes. It is recommended that you save data as you work by
clicking the Save button after entering each question and
answer set. his will maintain a connection to the server.
