Hi
I have exactly the same problem with BRTools 720 Patch 42.
Problem arose when we were told by SAP to remove the Old Licenses from the Old Licenses tab of SLICENSE due to a problem with incorrect hardware keys. Not because of an upgrade of the Kernel.
We have valid Digitally-Signed Licenses installed and it's only the backups that seem to through this error.
After removing those older licenses, running saplicense -show results in :-
saplicense: no license entries found
And when you run saplicense -test you get :-
Protocol saplicense test:
*** Read sapsytem name
ok, sapsytem name = SID
*** Read message server host
ok, host = hostname
*** Read message server service port
ok, service port = sapmsSID
*** Connect to message server
ok, connect done
*** Read hardware key from message server
ok, got hardware key
*** Detach from message server
ok, detached
*** Check hardware key
ok, hardware key = XXXXXXXXXXX
*** Connect to database
ok, connected
*** Check license
ok, check done
*** Disconnect database
ok, database disconnected
test result: license test failed
*** no valid license found ***
Seems there is a problem with the license check of BRTools when there are no Old Licenses installed any more.
I have a customer message raised with SAP as to how to correct this issue. Fundamentally it's not really a problem but with a successful backup showing as amber we are forced to check the log to make sure the backup was completed successfully. It should show as green.
Thanks
Craig
