License not validated in RDi 9.8

Hallo,

We do have a curious problem on the Laptop of one of n colleagues. RDi 9.8 has been installed by extracting it from the distribution zip file. Then the license plugin has been installed with "Help -> Install New Software". I did not notice any errors watching that process.

But then, when attempting to connect to our IBM I, the follow error is displayed and logged in the Eclipse error log:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: License key check failed for plugin com.ibm.etools.iseries.connectorservice.

Needless to say, that RDi installed fine on a bunch of other computers. Just that one causes trouble.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Thomas.
