Wiki Page: Borland Enterprise Server License violation[1011]: Non-compatible licenses are detected

Problem: In some situation when there is already an installed license, mostly trial license in VisiBroker, installing a non-trial license causes a conflict and raises the error below: "Unable to locate or read license [Borland Enterprise Server License violation[1011]: Non-compatible licenses are detected. Please use the license tool to reconfigure your license" Resolution: The following steps are needed to clean the installation directory from any conflicting licenses and to register and enable a non-trial license. 1. Run license management tool to disable any license, do: (a) Setup environment, skip this when on Windows $ . /bin/vbroker.sh (b) Run license management tool, `lmadm -i console` (c) Disable existing licenses by choosing "[3] Disable a license” (d) Choose “[7] Save” to save the new setting. 2. Remove and backup the following files: (a) All files including hidden files in /var except the following. vbroker directory license.ini (b) Any *.txt and *.slip files in /license 3. Verify that no license is installed by running again `lmadm -i console` and choose "[2] List all licenses" 4. Install the non-trial license by copying the superkey file (regXXX.slip) or activation file (regXXX.txt) back to /license. 5. Verify if the new license is properly applied by running `lmadm -i console` and choose "[2] List all licenses". 6. If the license is not enabled, execute "[4] Enable a license” and choose the license. Save the changes by choosing “[7] Save”. Note: In general, you cannot apply two Visibroker licenses together. These include: (both development/trial): Visibroker Trial VisiBroker Java Development VisiBroker C++ Development VisiBroker Full Development Attempting to apply licenses that are incompatible with each other will result in a run-time error indicating the problem. Warning: If you apply a Trial or Development license together with a Production license, all licensed features of that installation will have Trial or Development behaviors. Old KB# 29368
