Everyone, I couldn't really see this communicated clearly anywhere, but I've discovered that rapidapp or prodev would not even start for me (crash just after "acquiring license"), and after a while of debugging with par I found that it usually dies with SIGBUS when opening license files.
What I also noticed - is that I kept couple backup copies of the licenses under the same /var/flexlm/ - which is what caused the issue.

It turns out that ALL files in that folder are treated as licenses, and the process would try to load all of them, and it simply gets confused...

The solution was very simple - clear all of those backup copies, and leave the one master file (I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen when you use official license manager, but for those "handy" ones who like to do it manually it matters)..

So in the very short - keep just one master file with licenses in that path.

Cheers

Ah'll be a blue-nosed gopher ! RapidApp quit working for me a while ago, never got around to figuring out what was wrong. This is what it was .. thank you !!

A legit ProDev requires the license string to not contain any line breaks (ie. CR/LF). This is contrary to most FlexLM apps which can tolerate variable formatting of the license string.

Not true as long as you escape line ends, like this:
