Hello,

Sorry for posting the summary so late, but the licensing problem
was only solved yesterday. After weeks of trial with different
mathpass files, Wolfram finally supplied us with one which works.

As the network license server has 2 IP addresses, the host name should be
replaced by the IP addresses. But this was not sufficient to do the trick
because they supplied us with several wrong passwords before giving us
the good one.

Thanks to lot of very helpful people :

Hello,

We run TRU64-V4.E on 2 GS140 servers.

We have installed mathematica from Wolfram research and have setup
the password license file (mathpass) with the codes supplied by them.
It is a network license.

When launching 'mathlm' , it always aborts with :

aster1.ulb.ac.be_at_mfdevil >

No valid mathlm password entry or file found.
>
Since weeks now, Wolfram has not been able to solve the problem.
They supplied new codes but nothing works.

I would like to know if anybody else has experienced problem with
the 'mathpass' file of 'mathematica' on an ALPHA server and how it was solved.
Any hints towards a direction to investigate are welcome.
