Alcatel Unleashed

Hi,

I have an ICS 6.1 server which has, basically, shut itself down. Most of the ICSD services have warnings against them:

I believe this has something to do with FlexLM as every time the flexlmd service is started, the alcotuc.lic file is reduced to 0k. I can copy the license file back on to the server but when it is rebooted or the services are restarted, the license file is 'deleted'.

lmstat then shows the following:
./lmstat
lmstat - Copyright (c) 1989-2007 Macrovision Europe Ltd. and/or Macrovision Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Flexible License Manager status on Tue 10/30/2012 11:09

Error getting status: No SERVER lines in license file. (-13,66)

Once the license file is copied over again, I get this:

./lmstat
lmstat - Copyright (c) 1989-2007 Macrovision Europe Ltd. and/or Macrovision Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Flexible License Manager status on Tue 10/30/2012 11:10

License server status: 27000@otuc.server
License file(s) on otuc.server: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat:@otuc.server:alcotuc.lic:

lmgrd is not running: Cannot connect to license server system. (-15,570:115 "Operation now in progress")

I've replaced the real server name here

Has anyone got any ideas? Is it possible to re-install FlexLM or will I have to re-install the entire server?

What stand in the flexlm log?

Hum...by any chance did you upgraded your license file??? That should only happen if you installed with an older version of the license file a new version of ICS. It will work for a few days (read documentation) and then security level raises deleting it and it should even delete your system users
