Same to which version?  First try was with 5.0 beta?  Or 4.x ?

* So it seems you have try 5.0 beta at first, then 4.9   ok.

* And this is REALbasic, right?

* VSERVER is on MAC,   REALbasic app I guess on the same computer.

* have you made Valentina.InitClient() ?

Note that for REALbasic, if you work with VCLIENT, calls must be exactly as:

Valentina.InitC( cache, SN, ... )
Valentina.InitClient( clientCache )


Exactly this order.
And Valentina.Init() still required even for client ...

Please check this point
