Core issue

LMS 2.5 requires a license.

Resolution

To update the license in Common Services, perform this procedure:

• Refer to Customer Registration.
• Copy the license file to a directory on the LAN Management Solution (LMS) server.

  Note: The LMS**.lic should be in some other directory other than $NMSROOT/etc/licenses and must have read permission for casuser.

• Update the license. Go to Server > Admin > Licensing > Update.
• If you have an upgrade license, validate the upgrade, as shown:
  • For Windows: C:\Program Files\CSCOpx/bin/validateupgrade.exe
  • For Solaris:

     csh
     setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/CSCOpx/lib:/opt/CSCOpx/objects/db/lib
     /opt/CSCOpx/bin/validateupgrade

If this does not resolve the problem, try deleting the current license files. Perform this procedure:

• Open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and issue the # pdterm LicenseServer command
• Go to CSCOpx\etc\licenses and delete all *.lic files.

Note:  LMS***.lic file should not be copied to this directory directly. If it is there, move it to some other directory.

• Issue the pdexec LicenseServer command.
• Update the LMS**.lic file from the User I nterface (UI). Go to Server > Admin > Licensing.
• If you have an upgrade license, validate the upgrade, as shown:
  • For Windows: C:\Program Files\CSCOpx/bin/validateupgrade.exe
  • For Solaris:

     csh
     setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/CSCOpx/lib:/opt/CSCOpx/objects/db/lib
     /opt/CSCOpx/bin/validateupgrade

• Close all the browser sessions. Open a new browser, launch the CiscoWorks, and check for the popup message.
