Summary

Symptoms

When attempting to license the 64 bit version of InstallAnywhere 2011 or later on a 64 bit Linux machine, after specifying the correct license file the Licensing Wizard displays the following error:

Trying to checkout IAEE version=12.0
Library for Native Hostid Couldn't Be Loaded (-521,7024)
Trying to checkout IAEB version=12.0
Library for Native Hostid Couldn't Be Loaded (-521,7024) 

This error causes the InstallAnywhere licensing process to fail.

Cause

The issue is caused by how the native library necessary for node locked licensing was compiled and differences among various Linux operating systems.

Resolution

In order to resolve the issue, please do the following:

<IA_HOME>/resource/fnp/libraries/ORIG_liblmgr11.so

or:

<IA_HOME>/resource/fnp/libraries/ORIG_lmhostid

4. Copy the downloaded zip file to:

<IA_HOME>/resource/fnp/libraries

5. Extract the zip file in the libraries directory and verify that the file or files listed to be replaced were successfully extracted.

6. Change the permissions on the extracted library to 775.

7. Start the InstallAnywhere IDE and proceed through the licensing wizard.
