Error description
IN cases where the license server configuration contains corrupt data, the license key administrator may fail on startup or when attempting to change the license configuration. The invalid configurations include, but are not limited to: - multiple @ characters in a single server name: 27000@@server1 instead of 27000@server1 - Incorrect/out-of-range "sequence numbers" in the windows registry key used as the LKAD internal server list.
Local fix
Resolving the issue cannot be done within the license key administrator itself. TO correct the problem the registry values that control Rational Common licensing have to be removed and (correctly) recreated. TO do that: 1) Remove the following values from HKLM\SOFTWARE\[Wow6432Node\]Flexlm License Manager RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE IBMRATL_LICENSE_FILE TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE 2) Remove the following registry key completely HKLM\SOFTWARE\[Wow6432Node\]Rational Software\Licensing\8.0\Server List 3) Reconfigure licenses using the License Key administor. This can be accomplished on the command line by running a command similar to: licadmin8 -s 27000@server1;27000@triad1-1,27000@triad1-2,27000@triad1-3
