HC81796: LICENSE: ERROR STARTING CATIA V5R6 P1 ON WINDOWS 95 WITH AL1 LICENSE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• - loaded V5R6
  - use the AL1 config.
    nodelock license is still good and V5R5 comes up.
    V5R6 gives me a licensing error.
    But if I go to TOOLS - OPTIONS
  - Licensing, the individual product licenses have been
    granted by the AL1 license, but AL1 is not checked
    CATIA V5 cannot start.
  
  The same error message occurs:  "Problem of Licensing... No
  license available for this application."  There was already a
  good nodelock file in the C:\ifor|ls\conf directory when V5R6 P1
  was installed, so no license was imported.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  ====================
  CATIA won't start on Windows 95 OS.
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON
    CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 7 SP2 level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R6 SP5.
  
   TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE CORRECTION:
  =========================================
  CATCafAutoInit.dll uses Xerces.dll which looks for
  an InterlockedCompareExchange variable in  Kernel.dll.
  This variable exists under Windows 98 but not under
  Windows 95.
  
  ANSWER
  ======
  A corrected Xerces.dll file has been delivered on CATIA V5R6 SP5
  and V5R7 SP2 levels..
