Maintenance License not recognized by SPAM/SAINT

Brand new installation. Generated keys. Imported using SLICENSE. I show a valid Maintenance License but when going into SPAM/SAINT I get an error saying it is not valid.
I go to SDCCN and try to create a "Maintenace Package" task and get "No action possible" message.
The hardware keys match.
SAP Note 1280664 says to make sure that SM_<SID>CLNT<CLIENT>_BACK is available and working. This RFC is not in the system at all.
GoTo > Settings > Task-specific brings up nothing at all.
Does this connection have to be set up manually? or am I missing a major step somewhere?

Hello Jeff,
Please make sure that the maintenance certificate has been installed via t code SLICENCE manually.
If this has been done, please follow the below steps.
Please review the note Number 763561
& follow the below steps:
5.  Q: When trying to create a task in SDCCN an error message appears:
    ' No action possible '. Why can the task not be created?
    A: SDCCN has not yet been initialised correctly, and so the customizing for the tasks has not been filled yet.
    SDCCN can be initialised locally by following these steps:
o  Ensure that the task processor job is deactivated, via SDCCN -> Goto -> Settings -> Task processor
o  Then initialize the tool via SDCCN ->Utilities -> Activate.
o  If the initialize was succesful you should get the following messages:
Local initialization of new Service Data Control Center
   Activation successful
   Destination to SAP created
   AUTO_SESSION_MANAGER descheduled
   Settings filled
   Service Data Control Manager tasks created
   Task processor scheduled
   Jobname                        /BDL/TASK_PROCESSOR
Please try to fix the problem by deactivating the task processor (deleting any still open jobs called /BDL/TASK_PROCESSOR) and then reactivating SDCCN via Utilities -> Activate. If that doesn't help, please open the system and supply user & password so that I may look at the problem in the systems.
If none of these fit you, please ensure that you have a maintenance certificate which should be installed via transaction slicense.  Has this already been done?  If not, please log a message for SAP on component SV-SMG-LIC and request for the maintenance certificate.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Mark

  • Netweaver Developer Subscription digital license not recognized

    Hello,
    I obtained from SMP and installed a permanent license for my Netweaver SR3 system. It shows up in the "New Licenses" table of the SLICENSE screen as "valid" and with an expiration date of next September. Yet the system is not recognizing it and will not fully start up. Only the SAP* user can log on. I have tried deleting it and requesting another one from SMP but it made no difference. The command line utility "saplicense" also can not find the new license.The license check was working fine earlier under the temporary license which showed up in SLICENSE under "Old Licenses". Do I need to do something different to tell the system to look for a new digital license instead? Is there a way to get a trace showing exactly why the license check is failing? Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks
    -Chris

    Chris,
    I have not seen this before. Maybe MaxDB license related defect
    Looks at the end of this:
    Logon not possible(error in license check)
    If no one suggest anything better, open OSS message with SAP.
    Sorry I cannot be of any more help at the moment.

  • Activation based license not recognized by Virtual Machine (Vivado 2014.4)

    Hi,
    I am using an VirtualBox to host a Ubuntu 64-bit Linux machine. And I have a Vivado node-locked license. In the first time, when I tried to generate license and used it with the machine, everything went well. But then I returned the license back to Xilinx, so that I can generate the license again for any other machine.
    Then, the time comes to me that I need to use my Linux VM again. After generating the "Xilinx_license.xml" file via the Xilinx licensing website, the VLM refuses the license with the message:
    Then I tried using command prompt to process the license, but I got the foolowing output:
    di@di-VirtualBox:~$ xlicclientmgr -p ~/Downloads/Xilinx_License.xml
    ERROR: API function 60009 failed, result 51308
    Request generated on a different machine
    Response processing failed.
    The response is not valid for this machine.
    Exit(4) error when processing response.
    So I am now stuck in a state that I have a license generated, but I cannot use it, and I also cannot return it back to Xilinx. I need some help from Xilixn technical support.
    A list of my questions:
    - what did I do wrong so that such an error occurs? ( I was able to use my VM and Vivado without any problem for the first time)
    - how to make VLM recognize this license again?
    - is there anyway to get myself out of the stuck-with-the-license state?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Di Cao

    Hi ,
    The Virtual Machine has never been removed or changed.
    I merely returned the Xilinx license that was once assigned to this Virtual Machine some days ago, and today I tried to generate a license again for the same Virtual Machine.
    Somehow the VLM does not recognize the license.xml at all, and I am now stuck with this license that can neither be recognized nor be returned.
    Is it possible to un-do the current generated license and allow the Xilinx licensing site to generate a new license again?

  • RDS Cal Licenses not recognized

    Available and Issued should add up to 10, but is instead showing 0 available, 0 issued, and using “Built-in-overused” instead of the legitimate CAL.
    This causes an error in the licensing diagnose:
    Screenshot will not post until "verify your account" but no instructions about how to accomplish this.

    Dharmesh, this is a single machine for a Proof Of Concept application, therefore the licensing server and RD session host are on the same machine.  Though it is part of the domain, the Group Policy for RD Licensing is in
    the default “not defined” state.  This should not be an issue, as quoted from your link (emphasis added):
    “If you disable or do not configure the License server security group policy setting, the Terminal Server Computers group is not deleted or changed and
    the license server issues an RDS CAL (if an appropriate RDS CAL is available)
    to any RD Session Host server that requests one.”
    With no changes to GPO defaults, the licensing server should issue CALs to itself without issue.  In fact, CAL’s are being issued, they’re just being issued from the built-in overuse account instead of from the purchased
    license.
    TP, this is 2012 R2.   licmgr.exe displays the following:
    License Version and Type / License Program / Total Licenses / Available / Issued / Expiry Date / Keypack ID
    Windows 200 Server – Built-in TS Per Device CAL / Built-in / Unlimited / Unlimited / 0 / Never / 2
    Windows Server 2012 – Installed RDS Per User Cal / Built-in OverUsed / 0 / 0 / 8 / Never / 4
    Windows Server 2012 – Installed RDS Per User Cal / Retail Purchase / 10 / 0 / 0 / Never / 3
    This agrees with the raw numbers (10/8) listed in the results of the CAL usage report below, the report isn’t too helpful as it doesn’t note which CAL is being used (as above), which is the problem:

  • I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

  • Intune: No licenses, user name not recognized and more errors

    I've just activated our IUR from our Action Pack subscription.
    So, I go an Intune product key for 5 users for 1 year and set it up in the Intune Portal.
    So far, so good.
    My domain and users from Office365 have automatically transferred to Intune as well, so that's great.
    However, it seems the licenses won't activate or something.
    When I look at Subscription > Manage (or something like that, it's Dutch), it says 5 licenses until Aprl 2nd 2016.
    However, in Subscription > Licenses it says I don't have any licenses.
    Also, when going to any other portal (company or admin), it says 'User Name not recognized'.
    My main account is rowdy[A]noord-computers.nl
    Is there something more I should do? Or do I just have to wait a few days?
    Kind regards,
    Rowdy

    If you still see this problem, you should contact Microsoft support from the Intune portal.
    They can help you fix this problem.

  • Import packages without Maintenance license

    I have installed my test SAP Solution Manager 7.1 to my laptop to Virtulabox. I would try to import the support packages, but I miss maintenance license. Is there any possibility to import packages when I have only a temporary license?
    I want to just learn to work with transaction SPAM and try to import packages.

    Dear Miroslav,
    There are not any possibility to import packages when you have only a temporary license.
    YOu can learn to use SPAM/SAINT,if maintenance license will be present.

    I've made the search and found a lot of info.
    Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
    Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
    All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
    How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?

    Hi Pedro,
    Some kernel updates (I386 on my case), and my first question is: "How do I update this? Is it safe to be the first thing to be done?" Is it only copy to the Run directory (usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run)?
    As SolMan is a dual stack machine, you can use JSPM to update the kernel. Another way is to extract the Kernel SAR files into the exe\run directory. It is a best practice to update the kernel before the support packages. Take a backup of the existing exe directories before you update the kernel and also pay good attention while downloading the kernel. you need to take care while choosing the correct version of the kernel (either 32 bit or 64 bit and ITANIUM or XEON). If you choose the wrong kernel, then ur SAP system will not come up.
    Also a component BC-FES-IGS has some updates, but I don't know what is this and how to update. (it says: Installation for SAP IGS integrated in SAP Kernel igsexe_16-10003071.sar)
    Extract the IGS SAR also along with teh kernel files.
    All the rest (SAPK* files), seems to be normal patches that is possible to use spam to update them. Correct?
    Yes!!! You may have to update the latest SPAM/SAINT (SAPKD700*) before updating the SP's.
    How to use SPAM/SAINT? What is used in one time, and on others? Do they do the same?
    Support Packs can be updated using SPAM and the add-on upgrades has to be done using SAINT.

  • SPAM/SAINT support packs.

    Hello,
    I am updating SPAM?SAINT from 700/0023 to 700/0030. I have found the Support Pack version in Service Market place and when I did click Download it does not show up in my Download manager.
    Is it because all these can only be downloaded from Solution Manager?
    How do I go find the Spam/Saint Update in Solution Manager? I could not find it. Like we have the additional components in service market place, do we also have some kind of a tab in SOlman ?
    Thanks

    Druva,
    >When I open the .sim file for Maintenance Optimizer in step 5 it says" enter the Maintenance ERP >system Date and then press enter". What does it actually mean.
    Sorry but when I have approved SP downloads with SOLMAN, I had no .sim file to deal with.
    So, I don't have an answer....
    I just put my SPs in my download basket, then I go in SOLMAN in solution_manager transaction where I choose whatever solution we have (there is no control, I can approve CRM SPs with an BI solution...). Then When I use Download manager, I see all the approved SPs.

  • Download new version of SPAM , SAINT

    Hello to all,
    I need the newer release of SPAM, SAINT for Netweaver 7.20.
    Can anyone who have SOLMAN Setup with maintenance optimiser, download Them and give them to us.
    Best Regards.

    Hello,
    Kindly refer to note [1061106 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1061106]
    "You request exceptional approval of your download basket by customer message (as described in the FAQ of the Maintenance Optimizer in Service Market Place) while your Maintenance Optimizer in SAP Solution Manager and/or the required remote connection is not yet setup."
    And as per the FAQ (http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000103142007)
    "SAP provides a fallback scenario. If urgently required, customers can create a message at component SV-SMG-MAI-APR and SAP will release the required download basket in SAP Service Marketplace."
    Then you should request SAP the approval via customer message.
    I guess that send or publish the file somewhere is considered illegal.
    Cheers,
    Diego.

  • Iphone not recognized by windows or itunes

    Can anyone please help me figure out how to resolve this issue?  My iphone 4 is not recognized by my PC.  My OS is by Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.  I tried the various "device not recognized" troubleshooting to no avail.  I tunes is up to date.  I even turned off my security sw for a bit to see if there was a third party conflict...all to no avail.  There has got to be someone out there who has the smarts to show me how to fix this.  Please advise and many thanks in advance!

    Jason,
    I understand why Apple doesn't cover the water damaged phones under the warranty, but do you know why they don't fix them if the customer is paying? Is it just because they want the people to buy another phone so they can make more money? I guess I just don't get it.
    The cost to repair a device and all of its components is more than the cost of a new device.
    Other than the article I linked above, this is the part of the warranty/legal forms that would apply:
    +"US v1.0+
    +Apple reserves the right to refuse+
    +service on products that have serial numbers altered, defaced or removed or that are damaged due to+
    +accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other+

    +(including extreme temperature or humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference,+
    +fluctuation or surges of electrical power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external+

  • 5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

    Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

    I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer.  My itunes works with other apple devices I own.  I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off.  I can't reset it.  Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail.  Any suggestions ?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?
