program during this interval, you will get a message informing you that
the daemon is initializing and to try again in a few minutes.   The
reason for this is to allow an instance of the daemon to resynch, in the
event that it restarts while licenses are checked out.  
.sh 2 "A Word About the ESPS Program Files"
.pp
One advantage of this license manager system is that you can store the
ESPS program files on as many machines on your network as you see
fit, since the number 
of copies stored is independent of how many copies may
run.  A reason to store the files is to avoid NFS latencies resulting
from dragging large binaries across the network.    This is  tradeoff of
performance and disk usage that must be made at each site.
Also, individual users can choose to store copies of certain programs
locally.
.sh 1 "Trouble Shooting Chart for License Keys"
.sh 2 "Errors When Entering Keys:  (Messages from \fIelmadmin -c\fR)"
.pp
\fBKey directory does XXXX does not exist.\fR
.pp
This means that the
directory where the keys will be stored does not exist.  This 
indicates a major problem with the ESPS installation.
The directory is \fIesps/lib/keys\fR under the ESPS root.
.pp
\fBKey create error: XXXX is not a directory.\fR
.pp
The key could not be stored because the filename which should be a
directory for holding the keys, is not a directory.  This would indicate
a serious problem with the ESPS installation.
.pp
\fBError generating server code\fR
.pp
This is usually caused by network related problems.    Please check to
see that the system has a hostname assigned to it.  Use the Unix command
\fIhostname\fR.  If it prints out nothing, then consult with your system
administrator.  In order to run \fIelmd\fR the system must have a
hostname and network address.   If the system does have a hostname,
there must be an entry in the host table (usually
\fI/etc/hosts\fR) for that hostname.   
Try and see if you can open a network connection to yourself.  That is
if your hostname is \fIfred\fR, then see if \fItelnet fred\fR works.   If
this fails, then your network is not properly configured.   
.pp
\fBError writing key\fR
.pp
The user running \fIelmadmin -c\fR does not have write permission on
the key directory.   The key should be installed by the same userid that
owns the ESPS files (usually the user that read in the product tape).
.pp
\fBInvalid Key\fR
.pp
This means that the key as entered is incorrect.
Double check the key.   Also double check the server code.
.pp
.sh 1 "Run-time Problems after Entering the Key"
.sh 2 "Problems with echeckout or waves:"
.pp
\fBLicense manager on server \fIhostname\fB initializing.  Please try
again in x minutes.\fR
.pp
When the license manager daemon first starts it will not grant requests
for about three minutes.  This allows time for any clients that might be
running to check in with the daemon in the event that it exited while
client programs were running.   
.pp
\fBInvalid hostname: \fIhostname\fB.  Check your ELM_HOST environment
variable.\fR.  
.pp
The hostname specified by \fBELM_HOST \fR is not a valid hostname on
your network.
.pp
\fBSorry, but there is no ESPS license checked out on this host.
You must first run echeckout to get a license for this host.
See echeckout(1-ESPS).\fR
.pp
You have tried to run a program which requires an ESPS license to be
checked out and no license is checked out on this host.   Run
\fIecheckout\fR first.
.pp
\fBUnable to find an Entropic license server.  You have ELM_HOST
defined
to \fIhostname\fB.  Be sure that elmd is running on host \fIhostname\fB, or 
correct ELM_HOST.  Note: In this version of the software, you can
leave ELM_HOST undefined and force the client programs to locate the server
on your network.  In general, better performance is achieved by defining
ELM_HOST, however.\fR
.pp
This means that the client could not find an Entropic license manager
daemon.  Could be that it isn't running, or the environment variable
\fBELM_HOST\fR is incorrectly defined.  You can leave \fBELM_HOST\fR
undefined to force the client to find the daemon, but we do not currently
recommend that.
.pp
\fBUnable to find an Entropic license server.  Be sure elmd is running
on the host system for which the license keys were issued for.  If you
know the name of the host running elmd, then try setting the
environment variable ELM_HOST to that hostname.\fR
.pp
This is the message that you'll get if \fBELM_HOST\fR is undefined and
the client program cannot find a license daemon on your network.
.pp
\fBNetwork or system error, code: xx.  Perhaps your network is not
running.   Contact Entropic if you cannot resolve this.\fR
.pp
You'll get this message if your network is working correctly.   It will
also be given for other various errors.   
A common problem is running out of socket connections (error code -8).
On Sun systems, we find that the \fImaxusers\fR kernel parameter should
be set to 32 for a system running X windows, NFS, and applications like
\fIwaves+\fR.   A server system with multiple users or a number of NFS
mounts should have this parameter even larger, say 64.   Note this this
parameter does not really control the number of users, but instead is
used to size various kernel data structures.   The Sun documentation
says that you should allow 1 for each real users, each window, and each
NFS mount and client.   Remember to allow for possible network users and
remote X windows.  If you cannot resolve this, please call us for help.
.pp
\fBSorry, no waves+ licenses currently are available.\fR
.pp
You have tried to run \fI(x)waves+\fR and no licenses
are currently available.   You can use \fIelmadmin -l\fR to see where
they are being used.
.pp
\fBSorry, but your license has expired.\fR
.pp
Your license has expired.  This would happen for a trial system, or some
kind of special deal.   If you didn't expect your license to expire,
then call us.
.pp
\fRSorry, but you do not seem to have a license for waves+.
Is the key file installed and readable? 
The key file should be \fIfilename\fB.\fR
.pp
The license system cannot find a key for the program you are trying
to run.  Either you don't have a license, or something is wrong.  If you
think you should have a license, have you installed your key from us?
The filename printed out by the error message is the path to the keyfile
itself.   See if the modes on this file make it readable by anyone who
might try and run the Entropic software.  
If the key file is there and readable, then it is possible that you were
given the wrong type of keys (for example Sun3 keys on a Sun4).
Call Entropic for help if you
cannot resolve this.
.pp
\fBSorry, you do not have a license for this feature.   Please
contact Entropic if you think this is an error.\fR
.pp
You have tried to run a program requiring a special license key.  The
license system cannot find the required key.  At this time, this message
only comes from the programs \fImbuttons\fR and \fIfbutons\fR.   These
programs should run if you have either an ESPS or \fIwaves+\fR license.
.pp
\fBLicense manager authorization failure, possibly the daemon is running on the wrong machine.  \fR
.pp
This means that the license manager is running on a machine other than
that which the keys were made for, or the network address of the machine
has changed since the keys were made.
