An internal error has occurred with CodeMeter while applying or creating license for Agile Designer

Products

• CA Agile Requirements Designer

Issue/Introduction

When applying or creating the license for Agile Designer, I am getting the following error message:
 

Error: An internal error has occurred. Please try again later.
0x1808000D
CodeMeter License Central WebDepot v16.02.159.500.ax

 

Cause

This error message is typically caused by the following:

• Missing license container.
  • If you do not have license containers in CodeMeter Control Center (CC), you will need to import the 'AgileDesigner' license container. 
     
• Incorrect license container.
  • The user creates the license request file using the wrong license container.
  • Users will need to create the license with the 'AgileDesigner' license container.
  • Some common license containers that are incorrectly used are 'AgileDesignerUnb', 'AgileDesigner-Trial', or 'AgileDesigner-Offline'.
  • If you have any of these in CodeMeterCC, you will need to delete them.

Environment

Release : 2.10+

Component : CA Agile Requirements Designer

 

Resolution

To check to see if you have a missing or incorrect license container, please do the following:

1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin.
    
2. Locate 'CodeMeterCC.exe', right-click, and choose 'Run as administrator'.
    
3. In the CodeMeter Control Center window, check under the 'License' tab.
   
   • If you are missing a license container, you will see nothing listed.
     

     

      
   • If you have an incorrect license container, you see containers like this: 'AgileDesignerUnb', 'AgileDesigner-Trial', or 'AgileDesigner-Offline'.
