Hey all,

I'm not sure if this is an articulate problem or a moodle problem. I've published a course and uploaded to Moodle. For some reason I have 2 random students who can't open it at all.I've checked and they both meet the minimum software requirements.

One of them sent me this error message which i was hoping someone might be able to decode cause I have no idea what it means.

Hey Kat,

If you receive an "Unable to acquire LMS API" error when launching Articulate content in your LMS, this may be caused by the version of Java that you have installed.

Some LMS’s use a Java API object to load content. Since content created in Articulate does not require Java, please do the following:

*  Contact your LMS provider and ensure that your installed version of Java is compatible with the version of the LMS you are using.
*  Ensure that you have published your content properly as described in the following article:
http://www.articulate.com/blog/publish-to-lms-with-studio-09/

If this issue persists, make the following modification to your player template, and test your content again:

1)  Open your presentation in PowerPoint.

2)  Go to Articulate > Player Templates.
3)  Select the "Other" tab.
4)  Deselect (uncheck) "Launch presentation in new window".
5)  Close the Player Template manager, and save the change when prompted.
6)  Publish your presentation for LMS using the newly saved player template, and test the content in your LMS
Let me know if that resolves the issue for your students. Good luck!
