This is caused when the XMLRPC service returns non-XML content to the
plugin; the only two situations that lead to this are when NeXpose is
running in maintenance mode, or when the current license key could not
be activated. To solve this, login to the NeXpose web interface, access
the license settings under the Administration menu, and very that your
community license key is valid and activated. Keep in mind that license
keys can only be activated once, if you reinstalled, you will need to
register for a new key. Thanks for the feedback!
