FlexNet Licensing error:-2,5

Solution

Feature name has a limitation of 30 Char or less in the license file for FNP then the crypt license file will not fail

FEATURE FeaturenameislongFeaturenameis qavend1 1.0 
permanent 4 \ SIGN="00DE 8F1D 4638 2DA1 2BA2 CDC5 6F43 3C00 9136 1F3C 8308 \ 46F3 0FF6 A80A 14B7"

NOTE: From FNO when we use more than 30 char then we will get the following error

The feature name " FeaturenameislongFeaturenameislong " is too long for FlexNet Licensing Technology; it must be no longer than 30 ASCII characters. [Incident# 0234-79464R]
