License Error installing SOLMAN 7.1 DB Component

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

I'm 95% done installing the DB component of SAP Solman on the DB server (Distributed environment) and it is giving the following error:

       An error occurred while processing option SAP Solution Manager 7.1
      SR1 > SAP Systems > MS SQL Server > Distributed System > Based on AS
      ABAP and AS Java > Database Instance( Last error reported by the step:
      Process call
      '\\EVALSAPAPP01\sapmnt\SMX\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\saplicense.exe -R3Setup
      SMX XXXXXX TRACE=2' exits with error code -112. For details see log
      file(s) saplicense.log, dev_slic.).

It gives me 3 options, retry, Log Files or Stop - obviously I would rather not stop installation

So I have done some research and looked through the log files located in:

C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\SOLMAN71SR1\SYSTEM\MSS\DISTRIBUTED\AS\DB

Trace file dev_slic has the following error:

---------------------------------------------------

trc file: "dev_slic", trc level: 2, release: "720"

---------------------------------------------------

SlicIGetDate: <20120503>

SlicPwForR3Setup: calc password out of <SMX20120503FJAWFNLTL>

*** ERROR => SaplInitializeLicense: wrong password specified [slicmain.c   1935]

saplicense file has no relevant information:

                Thu May 03 16:38:50 2012

                MtxInit: 0 0 0

Because this is a distributed system I also went onto my app server and ran the following commands:

E:\usr\sap\SMX\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64>saplicense.exe -get

saplicense: HARDWARE KEY = V0819355350

E:\usr\sap\SMX\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64>saplicense -show

Specify your SAP System ID:
SAP SYSTEM ID = SMX

I'm assuming that there is something wrong or missing here but I'm not sure where to from here or what exactly is causing this (Assumption is that there is no license installed yet but one would also assume that that should happen after full installation and then have it installed through trans slicense? )

hi,

are you doing fresh installation? or system copy? if system copy check the license of source system whether that is expired?

why you using distributed system? does your db running on different server os? Normally we choose central system because solman is always not much loaded. check your r3trans -d is working fine.

and if you are using distributed read the inst guide again to get the proper pre request for distributed and proceed.

if you have license from SAP, use saplicense.exe -install option

Thanks,

Hi Jansi

It is a fresh installation.

Yes Distributed environment, App Server on one OS and DB Server on Second OS.

I'll have another read of the SAP inst guide but I'm pretty sure the one I'm reading doesnt have any licensing info.

Cheers
