Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Since error codes are pretty generic when it comes to the license manager (i.e. Error [1.5.-4]) I have decided to post a list of the common error codes here for quick reference.

Error Code Description
-1 Cannot find license file.
-2 Invalid license file syntax.
-3 No license server system for this feature.
-4 Licensed number of users already reached.
-5 No such feature exists.
-6 No TCP/IP port number in license file and FLEXnet Licensing service does not exist. (pre-v6 only)
-7 No socket connection to license server manager service.
-8 Invalid (inconsistent) license key or signature.
The license key/signature and data for the feature do not match. This usually happens when a license file has been altered.
-9 Invalid host.
The hostid of this system does not match the hostid specified in the license file.
-10 Feature has expired.
-11 Invalid date format in license file.
-12 Invalid returned data from license server system.
-13 No SERVER lines in license file.
-14 Cannot find SERVER host name in network database.
The lookup for the host name on the SERVER line in the license file failed. This often happens when NIS or DNS or the hosts file is incorrect. Workaround: Use IP address (e.g., 123.456.789.123) instead of host name.
-15 Cannot connect to license server system.
The server (lmgrd) has not been started yet, or the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the TCP/IP port or host name in the license file has been changed.
-16 Cannot read data from license server system.

[#2]

Please note that these codes only apply to network licenses, i.e. of the
form "xx.5.yyy". Note that "yyy" is usually a negative number, as it comes
right from FlexLM.

Standalone license errors are of the form "xx.1.yyy".

Error numbers in brackets with three numbers have this format: [a.b.c],
where "a" represents the general kind of problem, "b" is the kind of license
(1=standalone, 5=FlexLM), and "c" is the specific error number from the
underlying technology being used. This info may not be current with the
latest releases...

The error numbers below are available in the FlexLM documentation. But
thanks for posting!

Hahaha, John I will get right on that sir.

[#5]

I am glad I posted this thread in the forum. I have been coming back to check on the different errors ever since. It's a good quick reference for me, without having to go thru that nasty manual. Anyway, Macrovision changed their website now and it is horrible.

[#6]

I am still waiting for the fixes.
Have a good weekend.

[#7]

Ha, maybe I will research and do one a day. :-D

That'll keep me busy for the next two years!!!

[#8]

Man, I need this near the top. Took me too long to find it.

[#9]

hi All,
I am getting the following error when I execute the command as below,
lmutil lmremove -h featurex core007 27000 201

The error which the app throws is "lmremove: No such feature exists (-5,411:14 "Bad address")". I am sure that featurex is running on the server core007. Anybody knows what is the reason for the error. Help wud be appreciated.

Thanks
