Question:

Attempting to run a simple wizard generated EJB causes the following message to appear in red in the Message pane:

Exiting! Could not find a valid product license.

Answer:

If the installation of JBuilder 6 and BES are not completed together, then Server configuration in the Project Properties will require editing.

Go to:

Project | Project Properties | Servers | [...] | Enterprise Application Server 5.0 | Edit... | VM Paramaters

Now, edit the VM Parameters field so that all of the path entries point to a valid installation of BES.

For example:

-Djava.library.path=C:/BorlandEnterpriseServer/lib;C:/BorlandEnterpriseServer/bin -Dborland.enterprise.licenseDir=C:/BorlandEnterpriseServer/var/servers/MyServer/adm -Dejb.module_preload=true

Next, after it is correctly set, copy the entire line to the clipboard, and paste the line in the Project Properties for the EJB project:

Project | Project Properties | Run | VM Parameters
