Anyone else getting the error above when launching the Harmony Remote software?

Yes, got that yesterday. Was fine when I tried again ten minutes later, didn't work an hour later, and was fine again late last night.

I haven't been able to get in all day (It's the first time I've run across it). I'll take a break and try again tonight.

I got in. When closing the application, make sure it's actually shut down and not hanging about in the notification tray.

Wow! Never got this message before! Does this mean too many people are logged into the Logitech IR database? That must ring i to sounds of joy over at their belgium head office!!!

I've seen the same thing this time of year before. It's due to lots of people programming their new remotes but not enough capacity on the servers. Once the new remotes are all programmed, the load will level off.

This does point out one major problem with Harmony remotes. It Logitech's servers disappear, there will be millions of people with no way to reprogram their remotes. I would prefer a stand alone program but using a central server probably meets Logitech's purposes better.
