Trying to compile a program, get the following compilation error:

$ cob -i tictac.cbl                                       
                                                                               
Execution error : file ''                                                      
error code: 247, pc=0, call=1, seg=0                                           
247     Licensing error (Error[5]: Cannot talk to the license server on host "127.0.0.1". Server may not be running.)                                                                                                            
cob64: error(s) in compilation: tictac.cbl 

Check to see if the license server process (lserv) is running or not:

$ ps -eaf | grep lserv
root     13952 13848  0 07:36 pts/1    00:00:00 grep lserv 


If "lserv" is not running, then start the license server:

[root@/var/microfocuslicensing/bin]# ./startlserv.sh
