Trial license enabling

Hello.
I'm trying to install RAM 7.5.0.2 for evaluation. According to download page installation includes 60 days trial license which is fine for me.
There are no any hints how to enable (use) this license during installation. The only hint I found here, mentione that License server should be empty to enable trial license: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10358&highlight=trial

But the problem is that configuration manager does not allow me to left license server field emty. I've got error "CRRAM2006E - The license is invalid. For more information, see the Rational Asset Manager help system" and can not proceed with installation

Could somebody provide any instructions/hints how to install RAM with trial license?
Thanks in advance.

Problem is fixed. It was my mistake during re-creation of DB schema. I
used new installation but DB scripts used for schema creation were
downloaded from other builds and I forget to renew these.

Now that makes sense of everything. The trial licenses are build
specific, if loaded into another build then the license will not work.

Hello.
Problem is fixed. It was my mistake during re-creation of DB schema. I used new installation but DB scripts used for schema creation were downloaded from other builds and I forget to renew these.
Now I re-created DB objects as you suggested and using scripts provided on RAM configuration page. Everything went smoothly, trial license is avaliable now.
Thank you vary much for kind and valuable support.

The only thing we can think of is somehow the database scripts have not been executed correctly.

What we can suggest is to
stop application server.
drop the tables and views from the Asset database (Leave lifecycle database as is)
and Go through server setup and run the wizard again (This should run populate database) all the way to the end.

Let us know if you still see the trial problem

I've entered 27000@localhost and completed configuration.
Now after configuration and reboot I see license serverr error in RAM configuration page:
Rational License Server error: (null) and (All license files searched for features: No license path available. License has not been initialized.)
But there is no any links to restore trial license.
I've used install media donwloaded from Jazz. Can not understand why license is not avaliable :(

if there was a valid trial license when the system first ran then there will be a "restore trial license" button/link directly below the license input box.

OK. I will try.
Could you please clarify what does
restore the trial license key
mean? Should I just remove license server address or eneter something?

Thank you.

Your build id appears to be alright.

In that case can you try the workaround we suggested earlier

'you can try is entering 27000@valid_host_name in RAM server setup,
This will allow you to proceed through setup , However
when you use RAM ,you need to go to the RAM configuration page (Administration > Configuration)
License section
and restore the trial license key. However bear in mind at that point of time, if there is any problem in your trial key it will show up again.'

We just tried the jazz.net version of RAM 7502, we do not get the error

Can you go to the About section of ram.setup Tools > About ram setup

and paste the build id

Could you suggest what might be a reason? I've downloaded build from Jaz Web.
