Could not get the System ID (SID).

Can't install a temporary license key because the system ID is unknown.

I have changed the keydb.xml and changed the profiles for scs port from 3901 to a different one and still getting the same error.Any advice or suggestions?

Hello Venkat,

I had same issue and I login to instance you are installaing it must be up and available to login. Once you log in to system run TCode SLICENSE

Remove temporary license and continue installation. It should work. In my case it worked.

My system is distributed installation.

Cheers,

Yogesh

Hi,

What is the OS ?

Is firwall running on the system ?

It could be a TCP Port Conflict issue,

Also check if the Database is up and running...

HI,

Try couple of thing

1) DB is up or not

2) Port 39xx is free or not

Also you can Try to restart the installation after checking....I feels this is due to corrupted cache and something , may be waiting for other answer will help you.

Other wise re-installation you can try.

As I mentioned previously I have changed the port both in Keydb.xml and profiles and restarted the DB as well. DB is up and running.

[Former Member]

It is AIX 5.3 and as confirmed previously database is up and running.
