| Issue |
In the QNX4 RTOS, we have 8 licenses installed but only 7 are showing up. They are a combination of old and new style: 3 new, and 5 old. The same licenses are on 4 other machines and they work fine. Why are the licenses not showing up?

| Solution |
If these were only the QNX4 RTOS licenses they should show up as 0 in use. That is normal. However, don't be mislead: if you have 7 QNX licenses and 8 machines you will have problems (not enough licenses) even though it shows 0 in use.
Common mistakes made with editing/updating the .licenses file:
1. Make sure that there are no blank lines between licenses.
2. Make sure that there is a carriage return after the last entry (for users of vedit only).
3. Make sure that there are no hidden characters (try "cat /.licenses" since vedit usually won't display the characters).
4. You cannot use the "cp" utility to move old-style licenses. You must use the license utility. See http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/qnx4/user_guide/license.html for more information.
5. Make sure you have reloaded the licenses in memory after changing them. To do this, type
"license -r"
If you were just using licinfo, and not "licinfo -a" to check the licenses it will just show what is currently in use. |
