License manager debug log shows: "ERROR: Non-activation-capable daemon activation invoked with non-client-request event type"

THIS INFORMATION ONLY PERTAINS TO SOFTWARE VERSIONS IDL 8.5, ENVI 5.3 AND PRIOR

When running the Exelis VIS license manager service, you may see the following error in the debug log:

ERROR: Non-activation-capable daemon activation invoked with non-client-request event type

Typically this error will occur once per day, with a timestamp shortly after midnight.

This error is documented by Flexera (the creators of FlexLM) to be an error with version 11.4 of FlexLM, due to an internal debugging process.  They have noted it as benign and should be corrected in future versions of FlexLM.

The error should not affect the license manager process from running nor license checkouts, and can be safely ignored.
