Problems in Tekla licensing: Error codes and their descriptions

Error 6

Problem: License library initialization failed with error: Activation Library Initialization error #6. Please, contact software vendor to resolve the problem.

Reason: Tekla license server installation folder contains .dll files that are from the previous Tekla license server version.

Solution: To resolve the problem, do the following:

  1. Close Tekla License Administration Tool and stop the Tekla license server in LMTOOLS by clicking Stop Server on the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
  2. Uninstall all existing Tekla license server installations.
  3. If the Tekla license server installation folder contains any .dll files, remove the files manually.
  4. Now you can install Tekla license server to the same folder where the uninstalled version was.

For more information about license server installation, see Installing Tekla license server.

Note:

Deactivation is not needed in this case. Licenses are kept safe in a specific Flexera Software location outside Tekla license server installation directory.

Error 20

Problem: Error 20: The licensing service is not installed.

Reason: The error occurs when you are starting Tekla License Administration Tool , or when you are trying to run serveractutil.exe command line tool.

Solution: If you selected the Manual option for Tekla Licensing Service installation then you need to manually install FLEXnet licensing service:

  1. If you have some other FlexNet licensing service running on the server, stop it before entering the commands.
  2. Go to the Start menu or Start screen , depending on your Windows operating system, and open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  3. At the command prompt, type the following commands:

    cd /D full_path_to_installation_directory

    For example, if you install Tekla license server to the default folder, you need to enter cd /D C:\Tekla\License\Server.

    installanchorservice.exe

Error 109

Problem: There are no activated licenses to return. Another program may have modified the activated licenses rights concurrently. (109) Unable to return as there is no licenses in Trusted Storage.

Reason: The trusted storage has been modified, probably by some other program.

The red Restore ( R ) trust status of your license is not trusted. The license is broken, therefore it cannot be returned.

Solution: The license will become available on the server machine automatically when the borrow period ends.

Error 123 or error 50030

Problem: Message 1: Row n: An error occurred but FLEXnet Licensing did not return an error number. (123)

Message 2: Failed to load trusted storage or specified ASR. (50030)

Reason: These error messages indicate that the trusted storage cannot be loaded, and your trusted storage is corrupted.

Solution: Your licenses need to be replaced. Contact your local Tekla representative for a replacement along with some instructions.

Error 1316

Problem: License server installation fails.

The following message is displayed: "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Downloaded Installations\...\Tekla Structures License Server v1.01.msi ".

Reason: You have an older version of the license server installed.

Solution: Uninstall the old version and then install the new version of the license server.

For more information about uninstalling the server, see Uninstall the license server manually.

Error 7174

License activation fails, and the following message is displayed: "Unspecified FLEXnet Error with code 7174 Only deployed entitlement line item can be fulfilled."

Reason: You are trying to activate an obsolete license.

Solution: You should have received a new entitlement certificate from your local Tekla representative. Try the activation again with the new entitlement certificate, and move the old obsolete entitlement certificate in an archive folder.

For more information, see Activate Tekla licenses using automatic server notification.

Error 7284

Problem: Unspecified FLEXnet Error with code 7284. Cannot perform support actions on inactive fulfillment record FID_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx__xxxx.

Reason: Trusted Storage has been restored from an old backup copy. The license with fulfillment ID FID_ xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx__xxxx has been deactivated already.

Solution: You need to restore trusted storage files from the most recent backup copy and then repair licenses if needed.

For more information about repairing licenses, see Repair a license.

Error 7288 and error 111

Message 1: The activation of the fulfillment is denied by the activation policy because fulfill count exceeded the available seat count.

Message 2: The activation of the fulfillment is denied by the activation policy because number of copies left is zero.

Reason 1: You may be trying to activate some licenses that have been activated before on another server/computer.

Solution: Deactivate the licenses from the other computer, and then activate the licenses on the new server/computer.

Reason 2: You may be trying to activate a renewed temporary license or permanent licenses without deactivating the previous linked activated licenses.

Solution: Deactivate the existing temporary licenses first and then activate the succeeding linked licenses.

For more information about deactivating licenses, see Deactivate Tekla licenses.

Error 7343

Problem: Unspecified FLEXnet Error with code 7343 Entitlement line item has expired on <date> <time>.

Reason: License has expired. It is not possible to activate or repair expired licenses.

Error 7466

Problem: License deactivation fails, and the following message is displayed: "The return of the fulfillment is denied by the return policy because max return exceeded".

Reason: You have deactivated the license too many times in a 30 days period.

Solution: You can deactivate the license again when 30 days have passed since the first deactivation of the license in the past 30 days. The number of deactivations of a license within a given time period is limited due to technical and security reasons.

Error 7581

Problem: Unspecified FLEXnet Error with code 7581. Online Return/Repair Request for the activationId XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX is not originated from the original client machine.

Reason and solution: The computer is not the same where the licenses were originally activated, and you need to return/repair licenses from the original computer. Another reason might be that the computer has changed so much that activation server at Trimble Solutions no longer recognizes it as the same one, in which case you need to replace your licenses.

For more information about returning and repairing licenses, see Return a borrowed Tekla license and Repair a license.

Error 9999

Problem, reason and solution: : Licensing server at Trimble Solutions is down. Wait for a while and retry.

  4. In LMTOOLS , reread the license file or stop the server and then start the server.
