Hostname Specified in license file is not available in the local network database
Hostname Specified in license file is not available in the local network database
Question : Hostname Specified in license file is not available in the local network database. When can licensing administrator encounter this error on server startup?
Answer:
Root Cause: Non Standard characters in the hostname. For ex: localized languages (Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, etc) and also including many European languages using non-standard letter like Ä/ä, Ö/ö, Ü/ü.
This is a known issue. It is a limitation rooted in standards.
RFC-952, as modified by RFC-1123, permits only A-Z, 0-9 and - in a hostname. We won't be contravening this spec by trying to support additional chars in hostname.
On startup, the license server is unable to resolve such a hostname.
