WIR2XNF:SEC:license not found For product GENERIC Error 4:iwinit failure


Record #135

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  ViewLogic

Problem Title:
WIR2XNF:SEC:license not found For product GENERIC Error 4:iwinit failure


Problem Description:
When you get this error:

SEC: No valid license found
In file: (Not Found)
For product: Generic
design.xnf:WIR2XNF ERROR 4: Internal initialization failure : IWINIT FAILURE

There are four different reasons for this problem.  They are:
1. Corrupted WIR files.
2. Missing PRODUCT in the license.wv/license.dat file (workstation only).
3. Missing LICENSE_SERVER line in the workview.ini (workstation only).
4. IP address being used instead of alphanumeric name as the hostname.


Solution 1:

Run the program check with the -p option on the design from the dos/unix
prompt.  With Workview Office, from the top-level schematic you can run
Tools->Check Project.  This will update all the wir files and assure that
they contain no errors.  If check -p (or Check Project) reports errors, these
must be fixed before WIR2XNF is run again.



Solution 2:

This error may also occur if the License Server hostname is specified by
the IP address (i.e. 9.67.49.254).  Once the hostname is changed to
alphabetic name of the server the problem should be resolved.



Solution 3:

When Viewlogic updates their Powerview customers to a new license (in the
license.wv or license.dat file) they MAY NOT ALWAYS send a magic number
which authorizes product 2.  Product 2 is the code for Workview (4.10).
Since Powerview "replaces" workview, it makes sense that Viewlogic wouldn't
always send a license for the former/obsolete product.

Even if Product 2 is listed, the only way to verify if this product is
authorized is to check with Viewlogic.



Solution 4:

Make sure the "LICENSE_SERVER hostname" line is in both the powerview.ini
and the workview.ini.  This is only true for network licenses.	If the
license is a node locked license, the server line must NOT appear in the workvie
w.ini.

Also, the location of powerview.ini for Powerview 5.3 is:
/standard/52/powerview.ini
/standard/53/powerview.ini
The license server line should appear in both places.
