Hello,
I hope I am posting this on the appropriate forum, otherwise, let me know on what topic I should post it:
We have purchased a VSA educational network license for our lab, and installed it on a windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, each time we restart the computer (which happens quite often since this is not really a server), the license server is unable to launch itself (see attached error message).
The only way I found to solve this problem is to reinstall the VSA software from scratch, which probably reinstalls the license server as well, and we are up untill the next reboot of the computer.
The hotline told me this could have to do with the WMI components of the computer being corrupted ??!!! I have no clue what this means and I think my chances of success in debugging these kind of things are rather small.
I suspect that the problem comes from the fact that the computer is not running windows server, but windows 7. I am sorry but we don't have any computer running windows server, all our servers are running under linux.
What are our options to have the software that we purchased legally working, my preference would be to install the license server on our group server running under linux (CentOS). Can anyone help with this endeavor ?
Any help on this extremely annoying issue would be more than welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Samuel

A system can have WMI problems yet appear to run properly most of the time. That is because WMI is most often used by system diagnostics. A word processor, spreadsheet, or email program rarely depends on WMI. As another check of your system's WMI status, you can use this procedure:
1. Right-click the My Computer icon and select Manage. (Alternate: Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management.)
2. Left-click the [+] next to Services and Applications to expand the tree view.
3. Left-click on WMI Control.
4. Now, right-click on the same WMI Control item and select Properties.
5. If WMI is working properly, you will see "Successfully connected to
6. If WMI is broken, you will see one or more error messages in the dialog.
