Lictool complains about a missing eth0 interface.
On Linux systems, the license mechanism uses the MAC address of your ethernet card to compute a unique id (called the cpu id) for your machine. Therefore, in order to run tools from the cacd tree, you should have an ethernet card installed. This ethernet card should be accessible through the interface eth0. You may use the command /sbin/ifconfig or /usr/sbin/ifconfig to view your ethernet interfaces. One of them should be eth0. To bring an interface up, you should usually use /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up or /usr/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up.
