| Clarifying Information | |

| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause | This error is caused by an invalid development license file. It mostly occurs when trying to compile IDL files when only runtime licenses are installed. | 
| Resolution | Ensure development licenses are installed by verifying that the license file pointed at by the IT_LICENSE_FILE environment variable (or the default <IT_PRODUCT_DIR>\\etc\\licenses.txt file) contains the lines specifying the license for the idl compiler: { ... aid="OrbixJART" fid="idl" lc="context" majav="6" ...} { ... aid="OrbixART" fid="idl" lc="context" majav="6" ...} |
