License file error during portal startup

Question

I've installed a portal (6.1MP1) on RHEL4. A few days ago, I've upgraded the license file to put new licenses for the installed components (Portal, Search and Publisher).
This morning, I had to restart my portal, unfortunately it doesn't come running. I got the following error :
Task 'InitializeLicense' Failed on Startup
Task #10 (InitializeLicense) Step #4
error: Missing, invalid, or expired license for AquaLogic Interaction-6.1-Portal.
platform: RedHat Linux (Java)
failure: FATAL: Missing, invalid, or expired license for AquaLogic Interaction-6.1-Portal.
recommendation: RECOMMENDATION: Please make sure the license.bea file in
the BEA home directory contains valid license entries for this
product/release/component.
exception: XPException
Portal: license error, Invalid host IP
It's a kind frustrating because I didn't have changed the IP adress since the last portal restart.
For information, my OS (RHEL4) run under a VMWare ESX Server
Any idea to resolve this ?
Thx

I had this issue and logged into the BEA license site and did a new retreival to replace my file. If you edit the text it will fail again though. based on your message you had my other issue where the ip of my good license was actually wrong and I had to change it via the online license management. then retreive again later.
