Linux license server fails with invalid license key (inconsis)

[Frank_F_2]

I installed a new license server/key on a Linux system. When the license server is started the license log shows an error:

    Invalid license key (Inconsistent authentication code)

When I run lmdiag I see:

  This license cannot be checked out because:

  This platform not authorized by license.

I have 5 floating licenses for Windows but my company prefers license servers by Linux based.

Does Intel support serving Windows licenses from a Linux system?

Yes it does However you need to make sure that you are serving the license correctly. Following this guide should be helpful for you

Let me know if this solves your problem.

I tried everything suggested in intel-software-license-manager-getting-started-tutorial and I still have the same problem. Some additional info:

- The errors appearing in the license logfile from the license server. I have not tried running the Intel Parallel tools.

- My Linux system is: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 (Tikanga)

- The hostid I gave Intel used upper case for the hexadecimal values but "lmutil lmhostid" reports them in lower case format.
