Exception: (oprel-481) Error to add license passwords from File: '(oprel-480)
Failed to add license passwords via smAddPasswordsFromFile() from file 'operations .dat'.
The error number is '304'. The error message is 'PDFile Not Found'. The error source is 'COvLicPDFileManager'.'.

The error is caused when Performance Manager (PM) 8.0 is installed on the same system as Operations Manager for Windows (OMW) 8.0.

The occurs due to the fact that PM 8.0 installs a file in an incorrect location.
