10.4. License Manager Installation Directory Errors

The directory you specified is not valid for one of the following reasons:

  • Must not be a UNC path

  • Must not contain a symbolic link or junction

  • Must not be a filename

  • Must be an absolute path

  • Must be in long file name format (not 8.3 format)

  • Must contain a valid, existing local, fixed-media drive

Please check your path, correct the problem, and retry.

If you see this message or one that is similar, you may need to correct the path to the license manager. The message will display a particular error code (listed below). The -100 series numbers indicate errors associated with the path you entered; the -200 series numbers indicate errors associated with the path specified in the service.
