Resolution:
Login as root and restart the CES daemon (license daemon):
[root@ ~]# cd /var/microfcuslicensing/bin
[root@/var/microfcuslicensing/bin]# ./restartmfcesd.sh
Cycling Micro Focus License Daemon
Shutting down...
Micro Focus CES daemon stopped.
Restarting down...
Micro Focus CES daemon running, version 10000.2.00580
Process complete.
Check to see if the CES daemon is running:
[root@/var/microfcuslicensing/bin]# ./mfcesdchk
CES daemon running, version 10000.2.00580
If "restartmfcesd.sh" does not work and you're required to clean up the license files (i.e. remove the contents of the license files and reinstall the license), especially after a crash occurs, then you should try shutting down the licensing completely. Run the following commands to stop the license daemon and then the license server, before starting them again:
./stopmfcesd.sh
./stoplserv.sh
./startlserv.sh
./startmfcesd.sh
[root@ ~]# cd /var/microfcuslicensing/bin
[root@/var/microfcuslicensing/bin]# ./restartmfcesd.sh
