Error description

  • Sporadically, IBM Rational Change licenses are not released even
    after the user exists the application.
    
    The typical environment would be:
    License server (TL 2.0) and IBM Rational Change Server 5.2 are
    installed on the same system.
    License Timeout is defined in the Options file.
    
    'Change-Base' is the name of the feature that is not released.
    
    In the event.log, the following messages appear:
    
    DEBUG: Failed to validated license before check in, license will
    not be checked in at this time: username1
    DEBUG: Failed to validated license before check in, license will
    not be checked in at this time: username2
    
    Workaround: Licenses are released only when IBM Rational Change
    Server is restarted.
