Problem: Getting error "isc_license can't be validated or read" when installing InterBase 4.2 or when starting ib license manager. Solution: Licensing for 5.0 is different from 4.2 and they are not compatable with each other. Check the following: * gds32.dll file is for WI-V4.2.1 and not for WI-V5.0.0 Starting with InterBase version WI-V4.1 the gds32.dll file contains version info to determine the version being used. Alternately the time of day that the file was created will also indicate the version. For example, a creation time of 4:21am indicates the version is WI-V4.2.1, while a creation time of 5:00 am indicates the version is WI-V5.0.0. * ib_license is a 4.2 license file not a 5.0 license file.
