Cause

A SharePoint web service relied on by ClauseBank has been deprecated and is returning an unexpected response.

This issue can occur in the following scenarios:

  • When the ClauseBank client software is upgraded.
  • When a new SharePoint Online server is added.
  • When an existing license expires.
  • When ClauseBank is installed on a new PC or in a new user profile.

 

Resolution

Update your ClauseBank Client software to resolve this issue. You can obtain the latest version from the ClauseBank download page.
