This is a duplicated post from the C Forum; Apologies if that's not OK.

I have been contacted by one of my developers; they are receiving this error message on our AIX box:

4053: cc EXTRACT.c
1506-507 (W) No licenses available. Contact your program supplier to add additio
nal users. Compilation will proceed shortly.

I am now AIX genius (I'm a Linux person at heart): could anybody help me out with a solution to this problem and/or point me towards some relevent documentations. I've tried Google but the search has been fruitless.

The problem seems to be tied up with a service called `i4llmd` not running, but from thereon-in I'm lost.

`uname -a`: AIX rs60002 3 4 00239536C000

If you require any other information then please let me know.

Start up the AIX admin utility by typing "smit". There is a section that controls software licenses. You may be able to activate the license you need. If not, I believe you will need to contact IBM to get the appropriate license.

Also, the accepted policy here is to post your question to only one forum at a time.

Thankyou very much for your help. I'm sorry to break with policy: thankyou for the pointer.

I have manager to solve this problem by starting the following services:

11880 25450 0 15:51:28 - 0:00 /usr/opt/ifor/bin/i4llmd -b
root 21912 4682 0 15:50:15 - 0:00 /usr/opt/ifor/bin/i4glbcd
root 24000 4682 0 15:50:58 - 0:00 /usr/opt/ifor/bin/i4conmgr
root 25450 4682 0 15:50:46 - 0:00 /usr/opt/ifor/bin/i4llmd -b

which were not running (have been added to inittab too). I understand that these provide the licensing facility for the C compiler amongst other things.

Again, thankyou for your help.
