executing the following command in

Missing license file
Make sure that the license file, always named virtuoso.lic
is in the correct
location, as described above -- /Library/Application Support/openlink/Licenses/.
Restarting the License Manager may be necessary. Rebooting should always result in a running License Manager, but you can also use the Terminal.app :
cd /Library/Application\ Support/openlink/bin ./oplmgr -fd /Library/Application\ Support/openlink/Licenses
Expired license file
Acquire a non-expired license file, by purchase or conversation with Technical Support or your Account Manager, and replace the expired file with the non-expired, as documented .
Cannot contact the License Manager
Rebooting should always result in a running License Manager. You can use Terminal.app to check whether it's running:
ps -ef | grep oplmgr | grep -v grep
If no process is listed, these two commands should get it running:
cd /Library/Application\ Support/openlink/bin ./oplmgr -fd ../Licenses
If the process is listed, there are many possible causes, including firewall or other networking issues. Please allow our Support Team to assist you in diagnosis and resolution.
