Ooops, License Use Managemet error
December 17th, 2007 by bfebrianTags : Lotus Domino
I just do a fresh install of Lotus Domino 8 server in a fresh hardware.
The hardware is IBM Xseries 3650 with 2 internal scsi harddisks and with external storage that can handle up to 12 scsi harddisks.
The plan is, the two internal scsi harddisks will be configured as raid 1 and become C drive, where OS Windows Server 2003 and Lotus Domino 8 program files installed.
The external storage will become Lotus Domino 8 data files and else (transaction log etc).
Unfortunately, the external storage is not available yet, I must wait for another week. So while waiting for external storage, I installed Lotus Domino 8 program and data files in c drive. If the external storage arrived, I will configured some of harddisks as raid 5 and format it as D drive. Than I can simply move the Lotus Domino data from C drive into the D drive, and adjust the notes.ini manually.
I did this too many times without a problem.
But not with Lotus Domino 8.
After I moved the data and adjust notes.ini, I tried to start the Lotus Domino service, and I got this following error.
“An error occurred during license use management initialization. Ensure that you are running Domino with a valid license file.”
Curious I press enter and it show up another line of error.
So I killed Lotus Domino server and re-check the notes.ini, nothing is wrong.
Try to start the service again, and again I got the same error.
Restarted the server, still got the same error.
Start to ask Google.
After few modifications in keywords, i found it in IBM support here.
The solution is simple enough, reinstall Lotus Domino Server. 
At least they not telling me to reinstall the OS too. :).

I found the same error in this case:
I installed lotus into server A
I copied dir lotus in another server B
I lanch server on server B
I have the same error
In previous release this is OK
In Domino 8 the start on server check for presence of lotus key and domino subkey and path sub-sub-key
If exist and directory is the same of lotsu inst yhen server start, otherwise the start visualize the message of licence error.
I heve tried changing the name to directory lotus and in notes.ini of server. (eg lotus8test)
I started the server and visualize the same message
I changed the new name directory in registri key and the server is started.

Thanks for the input.
So, in Domino 8 is not enough just to change the notes.ini file to change the data directory, we also need to change windows registry too.
Thanks

thanks for this, for reference the registry key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Domino
and perhaps:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Domino\1
and you want to change the datapath value

Hi Guys,
I’m getting the same error when I’m trying to install an eval version of Domino 8 on Windows.
I can’t find any instructions on what to do to fix this problem. All I want to do is install the server and try it out for a few days but as soon as the installation has finished I try to start the server and it displays this error message.
Any ideas??
