PH Interbase Licensing Errors

[Peter Bateman]

Joe is right about the generic license. I don't think you could be running 
InterBase
on your new cluster unless you have the generic license or got new keys from 
InterBase.

I recall that GDSRSERVER would fail if the ping command response time was 
more
than 10 msecs. So you may have a load issue with InterBase.

I would try to make the license file local to each node of the cluster so 
that license validation
does not have to go across the network.

IBPHOENIX might be able help you, for a price.

Good luck,
Peter Bateman
