DB Connect Communication to server during setup?

Hey,

I'm using a Splunk Free License on Windows Server 2012 and I'm trying to install DB Connect 3.1.3.
After manually uploading the "splunk-db-connect_313.tgz" file and trying to run the app setup in Splunk Web, DB Connect stops working:alt text

I've installed JDK 8 and after looking for internal splunk errors with index=_internal sourcetype="dbx*" error and I got the following notification:

Could this be a storage or network connection error? Does DB Connect need to communicate to others servers in order to install the app?

Hi,

free license won't work with DB Connect, because it needs RBAC and that isn't available. If you're a licensed customer, you can have it contact your license master or you can contact support to get a forwarder license.

I'm not sure that message is related, but I am pretty sure that setup can't complete without an Enterprise license because it needs to do permissions-related activities.
