This article explains the message "LMF 006 You are not licensed to use this product or version".

Problem:

After new licenses were installed we received the error message "LMF 006 : You are not licensed to use this product or version" at compile time. There is definite proof that the licenses are installed. Why are they not being found?

Resolution:

This situation can occur if there are multiple mflmf directories. Best practice is to have only one license directory that is not underneath any COBDIR.

The latest version of the LMF software will always run older versions of the product. If a new version of Server Express is installed, that version's License Manager should be used. Either overlay the existing mflmf directory or create a new directory and enter all old and new keys, then remove the old mflmf directory.

Ensure that all licenses are installed in the mflmf directory that is pointed to by the start-up script /etc/mflmrcscript. To find this directory:
  1. Issue the command tail /etc/mf* . The next to the last line will look something like cd /opt/microfocus/mflmf. This is the directory where the keys should be installed.
  2. Change to this directory and stop the running manager by running ./lmfgetpv k.
  3. Install the license using the command ./mflmcmd . After the license is added successfully, restart the license manager using ./mflmman.
  4. Run ./lmfgetpvit and it should now show the current directory. Then run ./devas. The license should be permanently established.
Note: The Server Express license should not be installed in the $COBDIR/lmf or another directory.
