Problem:

If you are installing separately licensed RM/COBOL Development, and Runtime, System products on the same UNIX machine, and, into the same directory, then, you will need to combine those licenses into the same vault file (license.vlt).

Resolution:

In order to install separately licensed RM/COBOL Development, and Runtime, System products, you only have to install the Development system, as that includes a Runtime.  Once the Development System has been installed, then, you can add the higher Use Count Runtime license to the existing license vault using the Liant License Utility(licverifyall).

The licverifyall program ships with the latest versions of our products, and may be found under the SupportTools directory of the product installation.

You can use licverifyall to add the Runtime *.lic to the current license.vlt (that already has the Development System license in it) with the following procedure: 
  • Make a backup copy of the existing license.vlt file. 
  • Change to the SupportTools directory and place the Runtime System's license certificate(*.lic) file in that location. 
  • Execute the licverifyall program with no parameters from a command prompt. It will find the liant.lic file and the existing vault file, and insert the Runtime license into the file. 

Test by running the runcobol command. The banner should display the correct license and Use Count information. If not, put the original license.vlt file back in place (using the backup copy made earlier) and contact us.
