STC doesn’t pay it’s bills

June 5, 2009  |  Saudi Internet

On some STC Afaq DSL connections you may encounter an error message on some websites combined with a lot of DSL disconnections. The error is:

Access Denied (license_expired)

A license has expired on the Proxy, and your request is not permitted: “The SGOS license has expired”. A new license must be obtained.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

SGOS is a proxy server operating system by Blue Coat Systems. STC is supposed to be the leading telecommunications and Internet company in Saudi Arabia and a company of that scale shouldn’t allow important software such as SGOS to expire.

That image was found while searching for stc.com.sa on google images.
