Symptom
When trying to use an OEM version of RAS, the error "Server has been disabled by CMS" is returned.
Environment
- CRSE 2008
- CRSE 2013
Cause
This issue can occur if the keycode is expired or missing from the registry, or if the registry key "KeycodeDefinitions" points to a location which does not have the file "BusinessObjects_KCDefinitions_dfo.xml"
Resolution
- For the keycode issue:
Install Crystal Report Designer 2008 / 2013 (depending on the version of RAS) and use the keycode manager included in it (Under the help menu) to add the necessary keycode. - For the KeycodeDefinitions issue:
- Open Regedit and go to the folder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Report Application Server - Ensure that *all* instances of the registry key "KeycodeDefinitions" under that folder point to the correct drive and folder path where the file "BusinessObjects_KCDefinitions_dfo.xml" can be found. There are several possible locations.
e.g.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Report Application Server\Instances\localhost\Keycode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Report Application Server\Instances\<ServerName>\Keycode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Report Application Server\Keycode
