RAM license not work

We have a license server which deployed license like this:

But now it always report license error like this:
Error getting property 'eeConsumerLicenseAllowed' from bean of type pagecode.includes.Perferences: java.lang.NullPointerException.

We think above error is caused by no consumer and publisher license available in the VM.

We used lmstat command to implement license check, its result is:
Both ibmrameecf & ibmrameepf : (Total of 100 licenses issued; Total of 0 licenses in use).
It seems there is 0 usage for 2 licenses, I am not sure if it is corresponding consumer & publisher licenses.

How can we make these licenses used and what is the root cause for it?
Thanks.

What version of RAM are you using?

If you are at 7.5.0 there is a bug. Please step up to 7.5.1 (or wait a couple of days and step up to 7.5.1.1). 7.5.0 is obsolete and you shouldn't be on it anymore.

If you are at 7.2.0.2 please get up to the latest testfix 11a. This was fixed all of the way back in 7.2.0.2 testfix1. But that testfix is no longer available.

hi, Rich,
we are using RAM 7202 test fix 9a, but previously we install this version on same configuration machine and no problem. But this time when we apply license with same process again, it report this error.
So we want to know if any other configuraiton will take impact to enable consumer & publisher licenses? And if our license error caused by it?

Thanks.

I have no idea why it is not working if you have applied testfix9a to 7202. That should of fixed it.

The problem is that before this we inadvertently required someone to have at least one license of each kind (Pub AU and Pub Flt and Collab AU and Collab Flt).
