Troubleshoot Licenses

Licenses are plain-text which enables you to see the parameters that are set. A checksum verifies the validity of the license.

If problems arise, the first step is to ensure that the parameters specified in the license file are consistent with the machine that is being used (MAC address and IP address), and that the number of users is as expected.

A port which is already used can not be used by Linaro Forge Licence Server. Ensure that you have specified an unused port.

Only privileged users can use ports below 1024, so you should use port 1024 or higher. You should not launch Linaro Forge Licence Server as root due to security issues.
