    We have a 2003 box that has been our dev VC box. Its fully patched. I am just now getting back to dev testing for our proposed environment. Trying to install new license file but the Lic Service wont start automatically. When I try to start it I get error: "Could not start the VMware License Service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."

    BTW, I have the hosts that are connected to this VC running their own licenses, this is different from when I fist had it setup and running.

    I also dont see under help the license adding feature while in VC.

    TIA

    If SQL is failing to start you'll likely see some errors in the Windows application and system logs. Any specific errors in the system log?

    App logs:

    Event ID: 1002, Hanging application sqlmangr.exe, version 2000.80.760.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.

    Another one is:

    Event ID: 19011, The description for Event ID ( 19011 ) in Source ( MSSQL$MSDE_VC ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355.

    I also have for sys log:

    Event ID: 4, AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0x71), which lies in the 0x70 - 0x71 protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

    This might be starting to look like a HW issue huh... Its old HW that VC is running on. Looking at MS site now.
