Cause

Devtest license file devtestlic.xml is missing in the installation folder and caused the issue.

Environment

Release : 10.6

Component : CA Service Virtualization

Resolution

Placing the devtestlic.xml in the Enterprise Dashboard server-->DevTest_Home folder will resolve the issue.

Additional Information

You can also get this error if the devtestliv.xml is modified. Never update the file manually.  A devtestlic.xml file was copied from one machine to another and the edMacAddress value was changed.  When the Enterprise Dashboard was started, it throws this same error.
