There can be an issue where on the ES Admin screen, in the upper left hand corner a “(NOT LICENSED)” message is displayed. This may be an intermittent issue. The cause of the issue is the timing of starting the Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS) and MF CES daemon services.
If the MFDS service starts before the MF CES daemon has started the (NOT LICENSED) message could display. If the MFDS service starts after the MF CES daemon service starts then (MSS LICENSED) is displayed.
It appears that no functionality is affected when the (NOT LICENSED) is displayed, but it can cause concern and be reported to SupportLine. The way to work around the issue until a fix is found is to set a dependency in the MFDS service for the MF CES daemon service. That way MFDS will wait for the MF CES daemon to complete starting before it tries to start.
The dependency can be set from a command prompt on the Windows machine using the following command:
sc config mf_CCITCP2 depend= mfcesd
After setting the dependency the MFDS service needs to be restarted and the ES Admin web page refreshed (if it was up when the change was applied).
To check if the dependency setting was successful right click on the Micro Focus Directory Server service and choose Properties. If the setting was successful on the Dependencies tab you should see that there is a dependency on the Micro Focus CES daemon listed on the Dependencies tab for the Micro Focus Directory Server service.
One thing to note is if any Updates or Hot Fixes are installed the dependency gets removed and will need to be set again.
