The connected CmContainer is disabled. No licensed application can use license information in the CmContainer.
The CmContainer may have been locked or a CmActLicense binding has been broken and is invalid.
In the case of a CmCloud container, it is not available because the software vendor has deactivated it.
This is may be the case, if a CmActLicense license is 'broken'.
Then the "Repair license" button is available to eventually repair the license. If this is not successful, the following error message displays. In this case, only a reactivation is helpful. Please contact your software vendor.
For information on eventual reasons for a 'broken' license als a look at the log on the Events tab may be helpful.
