Error: A license for FComp is not available (-5,412

[Roberta_G_]

Hi-

We recently had a disk crash on our SGI UV1000 causing us to rebuild our system.  We installed Suse Linux 11.4 and went to the Intel registration center to acquire a new Intel Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Linux license file, since our hostid changed. 

The license is running, however I continue to get an error.  Please help.

Error: A license for FComp is not available (-5,412).

Make sure that a license file is being used that contains a license
for the requested feature.  If your license requires a license server,
make sure that the server is using the right license file (usually,
this would be the same license file that is being used by this
application), and make sure that you have not changed the license
file since starting the server.

License file(s) used were (in this order):
    1.  Trusted Storage
**  2.  /opt/intel/flexlm/server.lic
**  3.  /opt/Licenses
**  4.  /people/userx/intel/licenses
**  5.  /opt/intel/licenses/COM_L___CTDX-****PPK3.lic
**  6.  /opt/intel/licenses/USE_SERVER.lic
**  7.  /opt/intel/licenses/server.lic
**  8.  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses
**  9.  /opt/intel/bin/server.lic

ifort: error #10052: could not checkout FLEXlm license

Are you trying to run the ifort command on the same computer where the license server is installed?

The reason I am asking is the order of the licenses being checked:

License file(s) used were (in this order):
    1.  Trusted Storage
**  2.  /opt/intel/flexlm/server.lic
**  3.  /opt/Licenses
**  4.  /people/userx/intel/licenses
**  5.  /opt/intel/licenses/COM_L___CTDX-****PPK3.lic
**  6.  /opt/intel/licenses/USE_SERVER.lic
**  7.  /opt/intel/licenses/server.lic
**  8.  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses
**  9.  /opt/intel/bin/server.lic

It checked the server license first, then 2 other license locations and also found a file COM_L___CTDX-****PPK3.lic.

Only the license file USE_SERVER.lic looks like a correct file for the client. Note that in case you changed the hostname you always need to modify the client configuration to point to the correct license server. If only the host id was changed then it may required the client configuration update if the original server license was used.
