  • While using truss on the RAS, the following error can be seen

vmwlm: [19:55:43] error VMWLM0301: License server not found
You are attempting to execute code that was built with Visual MainWin without a Deployment license.
This code will execute only if a Mainsoft license manager is available to authorize execution.
If you received this application from a vendor, please contact the vendor for assistance.
If you are the vendor developing or testing this application, possible reasons for this failure are:
    * The Mainsoft license manager is not running - start the license manager by issuing the command 'msoftlmsrv start'
    * A Mainsoft license manager is running but could not be reached - in this case you can set the environment variable MSOFTLM_HOST to  point to the host location (e.g. '@blue')

  •  Running the mwadm executable manually provides further information on the issue
$ cd sap_bobj
