Created On: 13 October 2011
Problem:
The Manual Authorization method (via the cesadmintool.sh) was used to install a license string(s). However, on checking the License Status, no licenses are displayed.
- Verify that the license string(s) is populated into either the "lservrc.stn" or "lservrc.net" file:
Eg:
[root@/var/microfocuslicensing/bin]$ cat lservrc.stn

- Login as root.
- cd /var/microfocuslicensing/bin
- Start the cesadmintool: ./cesadmintool.sh
- From the menu select 'Check License Status' and even though the license string has been installed it's not showing and the product in not licensed:

Resolution:
- Login as root.
- cd /var/microfocuslicensing/bin
- Stop the license server using the command: ./stoplserv.sh
- Open the lservrc.net and lservrc.stn files and delete the contents to ensure the files are empty, save them.
- Start up the license server using the command: ./startlserv.sh
- Ensure the license string(s) are in a text file.
Eg:
[/var/microfocuslicensing]$ cat eclipsekey.txt

- Select menu option 2 for "Check License Status" to ensure the license is being picked up.
- If the licenses are still not displayed, then run the following commands to stop start the license daemon and license server from the /var/microfocuslicensing/bin directory.
- Stop the CES license daemon: ./stopmfcesd.sh
- Stop the license server: ./stoplserv.sh
- Start the license server: ./startlserv.sh
- Start the CES license daemon: ./startmfcesd.sh
- Check the 'License Status' again.
NOTE: If the license is still not displayed in the 'Licensed Products' license status, then one possibility is because Authorization Codes for Trial licenses (Standalone type) do not work in Remote Desktop settings and VM environments. Micro Focus SupportLine will need to generate a different license type, this will need to be a Full License with a trial period/end date (Network type).
