Compile Licenses Problem

We have a 4 node 9.5 Watcom compiler license. When we purchased the
development QNX OS licenses we also purchased 3 10.6 compiler licenses.
We have installed all 7 licenses on 6 different node. Please note that
the Watcom 9.5 licenses are the old license approach. That is, the
licenses information is stored in the /etc/licenses subdirectory. I
have done a “diff” on the /.licenses files and they are all the same,
exactly. I have done an ‘ls’ on the /etc/licenses directory and there
are two files in each identical on each node.

Here is the problem? When we do a ‘licinfo -a’ on these node we get two
different answers. The licinfo -a on node one returns a wcc 1/7. The
other node each report wcc 1/2. WHY???

We have read the manual, tested and rebooted each machine. What is
goning on here???

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


Larry

Is it possible that you copied the licenses with cp or some other
utility other than “license”. QNX does something tricky with licenses.
There is data associated with them that you can’t readily see or
copy, except with the license program. You might try eraseing the
files from /etc/licenses and re-installing from your license
disks.

Is it possible that you have copied (using cp) the licenses instead of using
the tool “license” to transfer the license.
If you copy them with cp it will become invalid (and diff will not tell you
the difference).

there are cases you do need to copy the license file (like “license”
command won’t work across the tcpip link), you will have to first
convert the license file into a regular data file. I seem to remember
Igor has some tools to do that.
