Troubleshooting for an installation with Microsoft SQL Server

Error message Reason Solution
Cannot initialize the license database. When checking the database ID, a problem was identified. A database backup was restored on an SQL Server on which the database does not exist. Note: A unique database ID ensures that a Scout license database cannot be used more than once. Preventive: Restore a database backup only on the SQL Server on which the database backup was created and the database still exists. In case of error:Contact Unicon™ Support. The Repair database button displays a checksum that can be used by Unicon Support to generate a validation code for repairing the license database.
