InstallShield 2013 Premier failed to start with error "license has been corrupted"
We have InstallShield 2013 Premier version and we have been using it with a floating license with no problem.
However, after I install the latest update prompted by IS, I can no longer start IS anymore with the exact same behaviour.
It will pop a dialog saying "The product license has been corrupted. Your must repair the license before you can continue. Click yes to repair now."
After clicking "Yes", a Repair license dialog will appear.
The process completes and the dialog shows "Repair Complete!"
However, clicking on "Finish" won't start IS.
And starting IS again will result in the same dialog saying license has been corrupted...

Anyone has similar experience?

Having the same problem here with different version.
Had been running on Win7x64 with concurrent license of IS Premier 2013. Upgraded FlexNet license server; applied new license for IS Professional 2014. Uninstalled product. Installed IS Professional 2014 SP 1. Launch IS. Error message, "The product license has been corrupted. You must repair the license before you can continue. Click yes to repair now." Repairing indicates success, but every start of IS still generates same message.
Other installations on identically configured PCs work, so I know the process works. Have confirmed that there is a license available.
I never get to the place where I need to specify where the license server is.
Has there been any success here?

Finally figured it out!
In the \Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014\System\ folder (2014 is the product version), there is a program called TSConfig.exe. Run this with the /set_license_server switch. Then you can either apply your node-lock license or configure the location of your FlexNet license server for concurrent license usage using the Wizard.
Example:
Hope this can help someone out!

I love you for this! I was banging my head trying to figure out how to update my trial with my license & was getting nowhere. Went through the repair circus a couple times, then repaired through the control panel, then re-installed...just to be in the same spot. Found this thread & BLAMO! One difference is i just double-clicked the TSConfig.exe & got the prompt to input my license. Thanks again!!!
