Description

GEL license validation was unsuccessful even with correct reachability to the Flexera portal or LLS.

Affected Versions

All U18 (ubuntu 18) deployed .ova for Alteon and platforms.

Bug ID

RSEG-12589

Solution

There is no solution until the Radware default DNS IP addresses are removed from the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Workaround

Comment out three lines  in the /etc/resolv.conf file in red  with a # character at the beginning of those lines, or delete these lines from this file as below after login to the backdoor device. Save and reboot the device. For example:
#nameserver 10.221.1.47
#nameserver 10.221.1.48
#search il.corp.radware.com
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1
nameserver 10.6.5.250 #License Manager feature
nameserver 8.8.8.8 #License Manager feature

 

ETA for fix 

All new U18 ova available for Alteon Q3 releases as 33.0.14.0, 33.5.10.0, 34.0.6.0 and 34.5.1.0
