Problem:
When compiling using the Net Express IDE the error "Micro Focus License Manager Service not Running" is displayed in the output window.
Resolution:
Check the setting of the COBDIR environment variable either in the computers environment or in the project properties under the IDE settings.
This error will occur if COBDIR is set to point to an invalid location or it is overwriting the current value in the environment which is the default location of "C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\Studio Enterprise Edition 6.0\\base\\bin".
COBDIR should not point to the location and name of the directives file cobol.dir.
It should instead be set to the folder name where your executables reside if they are .int or .gnt.
When COBDIR is set you should always include the current setting so that the new setting will be appended to the current one instead of overwriting it.
Example:
COBDIR
C:\\testdir;%COBDIR%
In most cases you do not need to set this at all.
