Problem:

What do we do when getting a "License key database unusable" error while trying to fire up the License Manager? Does this message mean the license database has become corrupted for some reason, for example copying, restoration, or tampering?

Resolution:

Yes, this error will ocurr if there has been a problem with the database. To circumvent the problem, take the following steps:

1. Change directory to */*/mflmf.
2. Type the command ./lmfgetpv k to shut down the License Manager process.
3. Remove the directory mflmf and its contents.
4. Change directory to $COBDIR/lmf.
5. At the DOS command prompt type ./lmfinstall.
6. Change directory to */*/mflmf..
7. Type sh mflmcmd (prompt I (capital "i") in order to install).
8. Insert the serial number and the license key.
9. Type mflmman to restart the License Manager process.
10. Type./lmfgetpv to ping the License Manager in order to verify connectivity.
