Error description
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: License Key Administrator should not truncate the last line of the INCREMENT section in rational_perm.dat or rational_temp.dat OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR: License Key Administrator truncates the last line of the INCREMENT section included in rational_perm.dat or rational_temp.dat The INCREMENT section comes from the .upd file generated by the License Key Center. WORKAROUND: - Close License Key Administrator - Edit in a text editor your .upd file and the correct rational_*.dat file - Copy the entire INCREMENT section from the .upd file and paste it into the rational_*.dat file - Save the modified rational_*.dat file - Do not start License Key Administrator, or the issue will occur again STEPS to REPRODUCE: This issue only occurs with some license keys. With a .upd file affected by this issue you can recreate the problem in 2 ways: 1) Start License Key Administrator and import the .upd file - and inspect the modified rational_*.dat file: - the last line of the INCREMENT section has been truncated 2) Close License Key Administrator and paste the complete INCREMENT section into the correct rational_*.dat file Start License Key Administrator and inspect the modified rational_*.dat file: - the last line of the INCREMENT section has been truncated
