M1: ERROR:basnb - SECURITY ERROR --Unable to lock license for
ngdbuild: license file syntax (-2,134:2) No such file or directory



Problem Description:
Keywords:  SECURITY ERROR, license

Urgency:  Hot

General Description:  ERROR:basnb - SECURITY ERROR --Unable to lock license for
ngdbuild: license file syntax (-2,134:2) No such file or directory



Solution 1:

The M1 license files include package definitions using backslashes at the end
of a line. (See the example at the end of this Known Issue.) The backslash (\)
character means that the line is continued onto the next line. These lines
are sometimes wrapped or padded with blanks by e-mail programs. It can be
difficult to recognize the symptoms of this problem when the license manager
starts.  Other syntax errors occur due to extra characters added to the license
file.  Shown below is an example of a valid node locked license.
