APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• LICENSING: ERROR OCCURS WHEN STARTED
  CATIA WITH CONCATENATED
  CATREFERENCESETINGS PATH.
  .
  Scenario:
  1. Clear all the CATSettings
  2. Create two directories viz. d:/DM2 and
  d:/KWAHD2
  3. Put the two Licensing.CATSettings in these
  directories respectively.
  4. Open the CATEnv File
  5. For CATRefferenceCATSettings, put the path for
  these two directories as follows.
  CATRefferenceCATSettings= d:/DM2; d:/KWAHD2
  6. Save the CATEnv file.
  7. Launch Catia.
  .
  OBSERVATION:
  We get an error message and then the license
  manager window opens
  In the License manager window, the KWA license is
  grayed with a red lock and Not Granted. The DM2
  license is available.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The KWA license should not be grayed and should
  appear unlocked so that it could be selected. Also
  we should obtain the HD2 license.
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  .
  Incident Diagnosis:
  An error occurs when CATIA is started with
  Concatenated CATReferenceSettings Path.
  .
  Restriction explanation.
  The license.catsettings file referring to HD2+KWA is
  not valuated when CATIA is launched with
  Concatenated CATReferenceSettings Path. Hence
  when CATIA is launched with the concatenated
  CATReferenceSettings Path there is an error
  message and the license is not granted.
  .
  By-pass
  1. Launch CATIA with the licences you want to
  have in the second concatenated directory
  (HD2+KWA for exemple) => license.CATSetting
  file will be freshly generated
  2. Close CATIA
  3. In the CATSetting folder, look for the newly
  generated license.CATSetting file
  4. Copy the license.CATSetting.
  5. Paste this file in the associated directory for
  this/those licence in the concatenated path
  6. In the CATEnv give the concatenation reference
  of this directories path in CATReferenceSettingspath
  7. Launch CATIA with Concatenated
  CATReferenceSettings Path .
