Problem with "server" license type for Rational Insight.
Hello,
Im getting this error on the license on the ServerDiag for the LMTOOLS:
License file: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalRLKS\common\rational_server_perm.dat
"insight_server" v1.00000, vendor: ibmratl
License server: lexbz2147
floating license starts: 1-jan-1990, expires: 15-jan-2018
USER_BASED: Requires all licenses be RESERVEd to USERs
Requests from the same USER/HOST do not consume a new license
This license cannot be checked out because:
USER_BASED license has no specified users -- see license server system log.
Feature: insight_server
License path: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalRLKS\common\rational_server_perm.dat;C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalRLKS\common\rational_server_temp.dat;
FLEXnet Licensing error:-84,147
For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation,
available at "www.flexerasoftware.com".
Also i get this one on the ServerStatus on the same LMTOOLS application:
ibmratl: UP v11.10
Feature usage info:
Users of insight_server: (Error: 1 licenses, unsupported by licensed server)
Users of insight_user: (Total of 150 licenses issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I think it might have something to do with the file ibmratl.opt but i dont know how to properly configure it. Any guide or pointer on this is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jose,
Yes, you are right. It appears you have an user base (node locked) license for insight_server. So you need to specify the username (servername) as below.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSRL5J_1.1.0/com.ibm.rational.raer.install.doc/topics/t_configure_ri_licensekey.html
However, as long as I know, insight_server license is no longer used for latest Insight version. So most of the cases it is not required to configure. Only insight_user is used when logging into Cognos Connection. Do you see the same error for insight_user? What is the real impact of this error?
