INTERNAL: FLEXnet error -114,xxx: SIGN= keyword required but missing from the license

David Blackston

After installing the license information via the license wizard or manually the following error messages appears when attempting to start IDL 8.x:

% LICENSE MANAGER: SIGN= keyword required but missing from the license
certificate.
This is probably because the license is older than the application
You need to obtain a SIGN= version of this license from your vendor.
Feature: idl
License path: /usr/apps/idl/license/license.lic:/usr/apps/idl/license/license.dat:1700@server:
FLEXnet Licensing error: -114,147

Running IDL 8.x requires the download and installation of the IDL 8.x FlexLM License Server. The new license manager is able to read the new license file which have tamper resistant encryption that starts with "SIGN= ". The IDL 7.x license manager is unable to interpret this which is the cause of the error.

FLEXnet error:-114,147

This can be remedied by downloading and installing the IDL 8.x FlexLM License Server. The license manager will be installed into the /usr/local/itt/idl/idl8x/bin/ directory.
  • After installation, as per the installation instructions, issue the following commands to start IDL 8.x license manager. These steps apply to Linux/Unix systems.
    (For Mac OS X systems the path would be changed to /Applications/itt)

    ps -ef | grep lmgrd
  • If lmgrd processes are running for 7.1 stop them with the following commands:

    cd /usr/local/itt/idl71/bin
    sudo ./lmdown -c /usr/local/itt/license/license.dat
  • To install the startup script for IDL 8.x license server in /etc/init.d directory

    cd /usr/local/itt/idl/idl8x/bin
    sudo ./lmgrd_install
  • Reboot the system to let the startup script start the license manager or manually start the license manager with the following commands:

    cd /usr/local/itt/idl/idl8x/bin
    ./lmgrd -c /usr/local/itt/license/license.dat

    Windows
  • Windows systems would need ta o change the path of the 'lmgrd.exe'. This can be done via:
    Start > Programs > IDL 8.x > Tools > LMTools
  • Click on the Config Services tab and for Path to the lmgrd.exe browse to:
    C:\Program Files\ITT\IDL\IDL8x\bin\bin.x86\lmgrd.exe
  • Save the service and then stop and restart the license manager from the LMTools Start/Stop/Reread tab.

This error can occur on Windows machines that are using 'unserved' licenses i.e. node-locked. It would indicate attempting to use an IDL 7.1 license to start IDL 8.x. To remedy this situation follow this step:

  • Make sure that the new IDL 8.x license is located in the appropriate license directory.
