Micro Focus Server - overview "Semaphore failure" > "Errno"

If the message is accurate, the "Errno" value ought to be a Windows error code on Windows, or a system errno value on UNIX.

Windows error numbers are documented in various places, such as the WinError.h header file that comes with the Windows SDK or any of the Microsoft C compilers. Windows error 1008 is ERROR_NO_TOKEN: "An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist."

So either this 1008 is not, in fact, a Windows error number, but something that is meaningful only to people with access to the ASLM source; or it's ERROR_NO_TOKEN, which is meaningful only to people with access to the ASLM source.

In short, you need to contact MF support to raise an RPI.

The 1008 Error is an internal ASLMF error code.

The code indicates that the file is locked by another process and licensing can not open.

I am not sure why upgrading windows would produced this error, although its not a scenario we have tested.

I would suggest deleting the file "c:\\mfaslmf\\semfile" or were ever licensing is installed on the machine.

Then copy the file from the product install directory "Server X.X\\bin\\semfile" back into the mfaslmf area.
