This article explains the error message "LMF 010: Unable to contact License Manager".
Problem:
The message "LMF 010: Unable to contact License Manager" is returned when Server Express is unable to contact the License Manager. Then the License Management Facility terminates execution of the licensed product. Why is this error occurring?
Resolution:
Normally the License Manager runs continuously and does not require any manual intervention. It communicates through the console, reporting status and activity, and is a free-standing process which runs as a daemon. If for some reason this process terminates, you will encounter this particular error.
To confirm that the License Manager is running:
- Log in as root.
- Go to the directory in which License Management Facility is installed (by default it /usr/lib/mflmf or /opt/lib/mflmf depending on the operating system.
- Enter the command: ./lmfgetpv
- In this scenario, the License Manager is probably not running (hence the error) so it is necessary to restart the process. This can be done using the command: sh mflmman
