Hello,

I've just:

1. Downloaded my XML License file for 5.1 30 day evaluation
2. Installed 5.1 WebLogic Server on my NT workstation under
"D:\weblogic"
3. Copied the XML License file to my NT workstation under
"D:\weblogic\license"

I then started WebLogic Console successfully, but get the following
LicenseCorruptException problemwhen I try to start the WebLogic Server. I
would appreciate anyone telling me what I'm doing wrong....

Thanks,
Dave

Could you possibly post the license file that you are using?

Michael,

Thanks for your help...below is the contents of the License file. I just
realized that it includes some non-commented text. I will try to remove that
and try again...

Dave

Below are keys for your product order. We are
migrating from java-based license keys to XML-based
keys. Below are java keys for 3.x products
and XML keys for 4.x products. Please refer to
http://www.weblogic.com/docs/techstart/license.html
for installation instructions.
Please print and save this email for future reference.

Thanks,
The BEA WebLogic Team

Any ideas?

Dave,

I had same problem using the Weblogic that came free with a magazine
(Dr. Dobbs I think, not sure). Anyway I downloaded Weblogic from BEA's
website and the problem goes away (It had 30 day license already in the
download.

Did you get this license from BEA? Did you change any of the text?

In other words, did you change any of these values:

IP="any" UNITS="unlimited" EXPIRATION="02-Oct-2000"

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,

I did get it from BEA. Below is a copy of the email you guys sent when I
registered. I installed 5.1 from a CD from JavaPro magazine using the key
downloaded from the first URL below. I changed none of the file contents -
I just moved it from my desktop to my WinNT laptop to do the install.

Thanks for your ongoing help...

Dave

Dear BEA Evaluator,

Thank you for your interest in evaluating BEA WebLogic Server and BEA
WebLogic Commerce Server.

You can download the license keys from each of these two links:

BEA WebLogic Server, version 5.1.0
http://www.bea.com/eval/wlslicensekey/

BEA WebLogic Commerce Server, version 2.0.1
http://www.bea.com/eval/wlcslicensekey/

If you've downloaded software from BEA, you will need only to provide your
user ID and password. If you are a new user, you will be asked to register.
Should you wish to download the license keys for the second product on the
evaluation CD, you will not need to register a second time.

We wish you a very successful evaluation!

The BEA Team !
