If your LMS is configured to launch course content in a new browser window and if you also set the player template for your Presenter ‘09 presentation to launch in a new browser window, you may encounter an LMS communication error.
I've also been having this problem with some students receiving this error message when trying to launch courses on our LMS (example below - I removed the URL, it doesn't say that!).
Player Template already has the 'Launch presentation in new window (creates launch page)' box unchecked. Presentation is published to SCORM 1.2.
As a standard we ask students to ensure they have the latest Flash/Java versions installed, and clearing their cache tends to work for minor launch problems, but this message seems to keep making an appearance. Our LMS administrators suggested resetting their score and asking them to try again, but still doesn't seem to clear the problem.
What does this message mean?!
Thanks!

The message you are seeing is basically saying that the content can't communicate with the LMS. You can duplicate this error simply by double clicking the index_lms.html file in the published output outside of your LMS. I would ask your LMS what their system requirements and make sure the end-user's computers meet those. For example, if your LMS requires Java Runtime Environment make sure that they are using a compatible version.
I'm having the same problem as Alfonso. My settings are correct. Anyone using Saba that can help me figure this out? I contacted Articulate Support, but because it is an LMS issue (the course plays fine in a test bed) they cannot help me.

Since the file has been tested and it's been confirmed that the issue is with the LMS (Saba), have you had a chance to contact their support for troubleshooting? If you haven't already, you should be able to contact them here.
Got a same problem with my PRINCETON REVIEW PORTAL which prompted "Error Initializing communication with LMS" and here is the reason why it should've caused
1. There might have been a registry error in your pc (in case of mine) while loading content which would've been crashed by some unknown mean.
2. Maybe you might 've downloaded Java (64-bit) for a 32-bit browser or vice-versa.
Solution :
In order to get rid of this problem please perform a PC Tune Up with software such as 1. AVG TuneUP ( in my case ),
2. Re-image etc.,
These software would clear the break-downs in your system registry etc., would be repaired. And then you would not find any error initializing communication with LMS etc.,.If you need a link to download those software for free please contact me through my mail "manoj19.shekar@gmail.com".
This thread is a bit older, so I'm not certain that other folks who ran into similar issues are still subscribed. I'm not sure of the steps Manoj mentioned going through, but perhaps you'll also want to lok at the information here in terms of how to troubleshoot LMS issues. If you continue to have difficulty with the set up at SCORM Cloud which is an industry standard for LMS content, can you reach out to our Support team here to share your file so that we could test further?
You know we have been using Saba for several years now and I find their support to be very hands off. I entered some of the error message key words in to their support search and got nothing.
This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if the users here are still subscribed.
If you are experiencing an issue as well, feel free to start a new discussion with details and perhaps someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist.
We started seeing this earlier. From what I can tell its currently seen on courses built on Rise and its x-browser (chrome, safari) and x-platform (windows, mac).. our courses are exported in 1.2 and they are pretty linear and straight forward. Can anybody suggest some solution please?

Hi Alfonso & welcome to Heroes,
If your LMS is configured to launch course content in a new browser window and if you also set the player template for your Presenter ‘09 presentation to launch in a new browser window, you may encounter an LMS communication error.
You can correct this. Here's how:
http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/kb/?p=2002
I've also been having this problem with some students receiving this error message when trying to launch courses on our LMS (example below - I removed the URL, it doesn't say that!).
Player Template already has the 'Launch presentation in new window (creates launch page)' box unchecked. Presentation is published to SCORM 1.2.
As a standard we ask students to ensure they have the latest Flash/Java versions installed, and clearing their cache tends to work for minor launch problems, but this message seems to keep making an appearance. Our LMS administrators suggested resetting their score and asking them to try again, but still doesn't seem to clear the problem.
What does this message mean?!

The message you are seeing is basically saying that the content can't communicate with the LMS. You can duplicate this error simply by double clicking the index_lms.html file in the published output outside of your LMS. I would ask your LMS what their system requirements and make sure the end-user's computers meet those. For example, if your LMS requires Java Runtime Environment make sure that they are using a compatible version.
I'm having the same problem as Alfonso. My settings are correct. Anyone using Saba that can help me figure this out? I contacted Articulate Support, but because it is an LMS issue (the course plays fine in a test bed) they cannot help me.

Hi Michelle,
Since the file has been tested and it's been confirmed that the issue is with the LMS (Saba), have you had a chance to contact their support for troubleshooting? If you haven't already, you should be able to contact them here.
Thanks!
Hello Everyone,
Got a same problem with my PRINCETON REVIEW PORTAL which prompted "Error Initializing communication with LMS" and here is the reason why it should've caused
1. There might have been a registry error in your pc (in case of mine) while loading content which would've been crashed by some unknown mean.
2. Maybe you might 've downloaded Java (64-bit) for a 32-bit browser or vice-versa.
Solution :
In order to get rid of this problem please perform a PC Tune Up with software such as 1. AVG TuneUP ( in my case ),
2. Re-image etc.,
These software would clear the break-downs in your system registry etc., would be repaired. And then you would not find any error initializing communication with LMS etc.,.If you need a link to download those software for free please contact me through my mail "manoj19.shekar@gmail.com".
Thanks Manoj :)
Hi,
I've a similar problem, i need to connect to a pag and it show me: Error initializing communications with LMS

Hi Javier,
This thread is a bit older, so I'm not certain that other folks who ran into similar issues are still subscribed. I'm not sure of the steps Manoj mentioned going through, but perhaps you'll also want to lok at the information here in terms of how to troubleshoot LMS issues. If you continue to have difficulty with the set up at SCORM Cloud which is an industry standard for LMS content, can you reach out to our Support team here to share your file so that we could test further?
You know we have been using Saba for several years now and I find their support to be very hands off. I entered some of the error message key words in to their support search and got nothing.
Sorry to hear that Robert.
This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if the users here are still subscribed.
If you are experiencing an issue as well, feel free to start a new discussion with details and perhaps someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist.
Hi,
I am still encounter this issue: Error Initializing communication with LMS. And would like to know if anyone have answer?
Thanks,
Hey Yu Chang,
Please visit this link "
http://smjhelp.blogspot.in/2015/08/error-initializing-communication-with.html"
and check if you are getting rid of the error by following the steps as
mentioned in the blog. If problem persists reply with the screenshots on
where you're facing problems.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj.S
We started seeing this earlier. From what I can tell its currently seen on courses built on Rise and its x-browser (chrome, safari) and x-platform (windows, mac).. our courses are exported in 1.2 and they are pretty linear and straight forward. Can anybody suggest some solution please?
