Zoltan,

I just went through this last week. I just copied my status.dat to a 
/tmp/license/status.dat and the update worked fine. It even deleted the 
/tmp/license/status.dat file & folder afterwards. I've been running 5.2.2.5 for 
over a week now.

Some RPM install glitch that IBM hopefully fixes next version.
