Cause

This issue may be raleted to one of the following causes:

  • License manager pointing to an incorrect license file / location
  • No SERVER lines on the license file
  • No read/write permission to the license file

Resolving The Problem

Procedure:

  1. Check for the contents on server_license.lic file
  2. Copy the license file contents to this license file (server_license.lic)
  3. Restart the license server services

Alternatively, if you do not want to use the above default location of license file, you may point to the license file while starting the license server with the below command:

./lmgrd -c <complete path to the license.dat file> -l <complete path to the log file>

Example:

./lmgrd -c /opt/IBM/RationalRLKS/myserver.dat - l /opt/IBM/RationalRLKS/lmgrd.log

Note: Check the contents on the license file for any missing SERVER / VENDOR Daemon lines before using it on the server.
