[RRDG_1:21-CORE] CRRPE3010E La licence n'a pas pu être vérifiée.

Impossible d'accéder à la fabrique de licences.

Cause

The error indicates that the startup cannot find the tl_lic.dll library. There are a number or reasons why this might happen.

Environment

This has been seen on a Windows client.

Resolving The Problem

There could be a number or reasons for this error:

License file is not in the path:
Ensure that the file 'tl_lic.dll' is in your PATH so that the Java loader can locate it. The RPE installer adds the folder '%RPE_HOME%\lib' to the %PATH% environment variable. If you use the RPE API on machines without RPE installed, you will need to ensure this library is accessible to your custom Java application.
Using 64-bit JAVA
RPE is verified to run on 64-bit operating systems but it still requires 32-bit Java. Ensure you are using the 32-bit java installed with RPE
Installation problems.
RPE co-exists with a number of different Rational products. We have seen that when these are installed under the same paths then this issue is resolved.
