For information, refer to the troubleshooting section of "Using License Use Management Runtime." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known Limitations -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After successfully enrolling a nodelock license to the nodelock server, i4blt report (i4blt -lp) shows that the number of licenses is 0. Wrong information about the number of the enrolled licenses is a known issue. Remote administration of the nodelock server does not work properly and cannot be used. The recommended practice is to administer the nodelock server locally, from the machine where the nodelock server is installed. There is a known problem with reservable licenses whose annotation is 254 characters long. When you create such a license on the server and a reservation for it is created, i4lbt reports (-ll, -lp) do not show the license list on the server. The license can be used properly when requested by the clients. 2.0 Notices This information was developed for products and services offered in the U.S.A.
