I get this message when I try to start up a q console session (downloaded the 64 bit version, and clicked on the q terminal icon in the folder):
'k4.lic
logout
Saving session…
…copying shared history…
…saving history…truncating history files…
…completed.
[Process completed]
And that’s it… nothing after that
For the 64bit version, you need a (free) licence file.
Go to https://ondemand.kx.com/
Hi Oliver,
the error k4.lic means that kdb+ has not found a license file.
As you know, you can request a kod license via ondemand.kx.com. The resulting email contains links to download the 64bit version, and has the license file, kc.lic, attached.
You should follow the installation instructions at
http://code.kx.com/q/tutorials/install/#macos
and assuming the default installation, you should put the kc.lic file in your $HOME/q directory.
hth,
Charlie
