Reason for the issue:
Dialogic® MSP and Dialogic® CSP SwitchKit TCAP applications interface with Intelligent Network (IN) application layer protocol APIs (GSM-MAP, ANSI-41, WIN, CAMEL, and INAP) provided by IntelliNet Technologies Inc. The IntelliNet API is licensed based on the host identifier for a given platform.

The host identifier for a SUN Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX platform can be obtained by running hostid command. For example:
$ hostid
831664bf

This host identifier for a given host platform must be provided for generating a license file.

Fix / Solution:
License files must be placed under directory pointed by environment variable ISS7_CONFIG_DIR.  If ISS7_CONFIG_DIR environment variable is not set, the license file should be placed under the current execution directory.

For example:
$ echo $ISS7_CONFIG_DIR
/opt/accelero/config/
$ ls $ISS7_CONFIG_DIR
its.lic

IMPORTANT: ISS7_CONFIG_DIR environment variable must always end in '/', otherwise the license folder is not recognized.  For example:
  - /opt/IntelliNet/WIN/bin will not work!
  - /opt/IntelliNet/WIN/bin/ will work


Workaround:
Place the IntelliNet license file (its.lic) under the current execution directory.
