License error after upgrade to Domino 851

While upgrading one of my servers to Domino version 851, error encountered "An error occurred during license use management initialization. Ensure that you are running Domino with a valid license file".

Everything went smooth for the previous servers ,so what could go wrong with this one? Well, the installer works absolutely well, but when start the server, got the error

"An error occurred during license use management initialization. Ensure that you are running Domino with a valid license file".










Solution:
 
The IBM Technote 1282346 said:


1. Reinstall Domino 8 on top of the existing Domino 8 installation for which the error occurs.
2. Ensure that the files domino8.lic and nodelock are present in the Domino Data directory.

Well for me uninstalling 851, reinstalling older version and then upgrading the server to 851 works fine. Reinstalling Domino on existing Domino 851 doesnt worked for me.
