Description

Resolution:
When a GS 5.x broker or secondary director is added to a freshly installed GS 6 grid, the GS 5.x component is unable to login to the GS 6 grid. Its logs show license related errors such as:

10/14/11 14:34:31.873 WARNING: [LicenseEvent] bad license true or bad retrieveProperty for property.maxEngines: null
10/14/11 14:34:31.967 SEVERE: [LicenseEvent] License could not be found: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Admin Repository is not currently available.
10/14/11 14:34:31.967 WARNING: [LicenseEvent] License could not be found: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Admin Repository is not currently available.
....

10/14/11 14:34:39.652 SEVERE: [DriverJobSpace] Authentication failed, this Driver will not function.
.....

To resolve this issue, set the Staged Upgrade Broker Login Port to 2000 under Admin | Configuration | Communication on the GS 6 director. On the 5.x broker (or secondary director), set Primary Director's tcp port to 2000 under the Manager Installation (step 4 of 7).
