PATCH 467-001
-----------------------

You may need to apply this patch if:
a. You are experiencing problems with an HAL cluster
b. Your server is subject to temporary slow-down or hang conditions triggered
by clients trying to reach it through a firewall
c. You are experiencing problems enrolling licenses when Concurrent-Offline
licenses have already been enrolled

Defects description
-----------------------------
a. If your network is subject to temporary failures, and the number of
clients connected to your HAL cluster is not small (e.g. >500), conditions
have been identified that can lead to a complete server unavailability over a
period of time.
The symptom is that the i4lmd process is still present but it is in a hanging
state, not responding to i4tv and i4blt commands, and not serving licenses to
any LUM enabled application.

b. LUM clients are not currently allowed to connect to the license server
through a firewall. If you try to violate this restriction by opening
the port (1515 by default) on which the server listens for client requests
conditions have been identified that can lead to performance degradation
or to temporary server unavailability

c1. If you are trying to enroll the first license certificate for a given
Vendor on a license server where Concurrent-Offline licenses (from other
Vendors) were already installed, you may get the following error:
"CLN-84 Invalid password or vendor incorrect"

c2. If you are trying to enroll a Custom Configuration Concurrent license
that is a replacement of an already enrolled Concurrent-Offline license you
may get the following error:
"CLN-207 Offline period exceeds maximum allowed value"

Installation instructions
---------------------------------
Stop the license server (i4cfg -stop) and replace the i4lmd executable
with the one provided with this patch. The executable can be found in:

/usr/opt/ifor/ls/os/aix/bin (AIX)
/opt/lum/ls/os/solaris/bin (Solaris)
/opt/lum/ls/os/hpux/bin (HP-UX 11)
/opt/lum/ls/os/svr4.sgi/bin (Irix)

Restart the license server (i4cfg -start)
