Missing License Key

Has anyone had this happen before.  While trying to start Smalltalk after its been running for quite sometime and we have purchased the product we get the below error.  Any idea how to fix this?

I guess this is a runtime image? In a dev image, you would just see a nag screen..

IIRC, back in the VAST 8.02 days, there was no licence key anymore, just the abtpay.dll or .so that has to be copied into the image or VM directory.

What O/S are you running this on? In case you lost the abtpay.zip for your platform, I guess you'll have to get in touch with Instantiations or one of their reseller and see if they can help you out. In the worst of cases, you'll have to buy a renewal/upgrade, which you can use to run an old version like 8.02.

Do you have an installation of your dev env. around where the abtpay file is located? Try copying it next to your VM of that runtime machine. Should be all there is to do.

Thanks for the information.  We have this running on a legacy server of our's running Solaris 9.

So you are clearly missing the abtpay.so file in your VMs runtime directory (most like $vast/bin). Or the user starting the image/vm doesn't have enough permissions to open/read that file.

Thank you Joachim for the help.  I found the abtpay.so file in the runtime directory.  So it must be a permissions issue.
