Error description
When attempting to import a new license file using the IBM Rational License Key Server (RLKS) Administration and Reporting Tool, the license import may fail with the following error if the host ID used for licensing contains leading 0's: 'The License file, being imported , contains illegal host-id/hostname. Generate the file again and import.' Importing the license file using the Rational License Key Administrator works correctly, as does manually editing the license server's license files to add the license key.
