Ilink3.3-m22 can't start - "Failed to take or refresh license".

In Reply to Ian Cure:

We've just had the same problem.



Last occurred March 22, 2005 10:50pm. Would seem that patched
proilbase.dll that was supplied to resolve the problem has reached a
time limit.. by my calcs its 2000 days ago...

Sorry guys, forgot to post a reminder ...

If you compare a text dump of the old affected library, you will
find embedded time stamps, which correspond to these dates:

Windows: Tue Mar 22 17:59:00 2005
Unix: Wed Mar 23 12:05:31 2005

The patch replaces these dates with new dates farther into the
future, but does not remove the expiration date:

Windows: Tue May 3 03:28:41 2011
Unix: Tue May 3 04:02:16 2011

If you set your clock past May 3rd, 2011, you'll see the same
problem again. I guess the license is perpetual, but not the
software.

Granted it is unlikely that someone will be using Intralink 3.X
in 2011. But, if you are transitioning away from Intralink 3.3
and will need to maintain it for historical purposes, you better
upgrade to an unaffacted build code. You've got six years to
get it done.

You only need to ensure that it works until 2027, that's the last
year the FlexLM is capable of supporting, since it uses 7 bit
year values which start from 1900.
