Then connect. You should see a green bar which mentions connection success.

Then connect. You should see a blue bar and a green Tick sign which mentions 'Successfully connected'.
-Then you need to borrow a license from the server by choosing option 'Borrow Licenses from a Server'. In the big text block select the IDL 8.8 License (****.****.****.XXXX) line. After that the button 'Borrow from Server' changes from gray to black and you can now click it. (you may change the 'Borrow time (days)' if needed before getting the license.
