Moab will not start, displays "Invalid license file for current host"



Issue: Moab will not start, and displays "Invalid license file for current host"


Affected Versions: All


Symptom:

Trying to start Moab you get the following error:


rootatMachineA ~# /etc/init.d/moab start


Starting moab: Invalid license file for current host - ''
Please contact Adaptive Computing for assistance
(http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/contact.shtml)
Moab will now exit


Solution

If you run "cat $MOABHOMEDIR/moab.lic", you will see a line that says which host it is authorized for. Our observation is that the value returned by the "hostname" command must match the server name in the license file.


Workaround:

  1. Get the hostname the license expects (cat $MOABHOMEDIR/moab.lic)
  2. Change your hostname to match that value (hostname <name>)
  3. Start/restart Moab (moab)

You may then contact Adaptive Computing for an updated license with the correct name, or change the necessary files for the new name to persist across reboots (/etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts, and so on, as the OS dictates).
