WL 5.1.0 startWebLogic.cmd License Error (works via wlserver.exe)

Question

I have spent several hours trying to figure out how to start Web Logic 5.1.0
from the command line or via the startWebLogic.cmd script. The sever starts
up fine when running bin\wlserver.exe via the start menu or from the command
line, but my startWebLogic.cmd script comes up with the following errors
everytime:
C:\weblogic>startWebLogic.cmd
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ License Exception $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Loaded License : C:/weblogic/license/WebLogicLicense.xml
However Unable to start because :
No License found for WebLogic
As well as the fact that: No License found for Tengah
As well as the fact that: No License found for WebLogic/JDB
As well as the fact that: No License found for Tengah/JDBC
As well as the fact that: No License found for jdbcKona/T3
Here is a version of the startWebLogic.cmd file I was using:
@echo off

Here is the output from bin\wlconfig.exe:

Type "wlconfig -help" for program usage.
I also tried a startWebLogic.cmd file version with absolute paths, but I got
the same license error. I really can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
here. What is different between the wlserver.exe executable and the
startWebLogic.cmd files I'm running?

Thanks for your help Raj. I found out it was a PeopleSoft problem. They
make us run one of their Java class files to startup the server from the
command line instead of weblogic.Server. Once I changed it from
weblogic.Server to PSweblogic, it started correctly.

Cameron,
Are you running setEnv.cmd before running startweblogic.cmd ?
The SetEnv.cmd script sets the WL_HOME variable. Make sure you have this
variable set.
Alternatively, try adding the absolute path for the license folder (inyour
case C:\weblogic\license ) in the weblogic.class.path entry in the
startweblogic.cmd file.
The server will look for the WebLogicLicense.xml in this folder at startup
time.
The reason why the server starts from the start menu is the fact that this
entry is part of the weblogic.class.path
From your posting
weblogic.class.path=C:\weblogic\license;C:\weblogic\classes;C:\weblogic
\myserver\serverclasses;C:\weblogic\lib\weblogicaux.jar
Thanks
