Configuring an RLM Server/Solving problems during managed license activation
This page contains information to help you diagnose problems or errors that occur when trying to activate a centrally managed license (e.g., a floating license) for a Lumina product on an Reprise License Manager (RLM) server. If you are looking for RLM installation and activation instructions, see Configuring an RLM Server. These instructions do not apply to individual licenses.
Reprise Software, who makes the RLM licensing software, provides a page on technical support issues, which you should also check for known issues and help.
The errors listed here are problems you might encounter when you press Request License in Step 9 of Configuring an RLM Server.
