Symptoms

The following error occurs when running FlexNet Embedded license-enabled code:

7000001f (Inconsistent signature type is used.)

Cause

This error occurs if an example project is built with a different digital signature algorithm from the one used in generating the client or client-server identity data with pubidutil.

For example, if you generated identity data with RSA signatures but build the client example to work with TRL signatures, this error will occur.

Solution

On Linux

To build the samples on Linux with a particular digital signature algorithm, set the DSALIB variable on the make command:

make -f build/examples.mk DSALIB=alg

... where alg is either TRL, RSA, or LK.

On Windows

On Windows, open the corresponding Visual Studio project and select Project > projectname Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies.

Then do the following:

• TRL signatures: Ensure FlxSignatureTrl.lib, crvs.lib, and sb.lib are present.
• RSA signatures: Ensure FlxSignatureRsa.lib is present.
• LK signatures: Ensure FlxSignatureLicenseKey.lib is present.

For a local license server implementation, ensure the Server version of the appropriate signature library (FlxSignatureServerTrl.lib TRL signatures, for example) is also included.
