Cause

The workpoint license version inside the aveksa.ear\APP-INF\lib\acmConfig.jar\license.xml doesn't match the version of the one in the
aveksaWFArchitect.ear\APP-INF\lib\acmConfig.jar\license.xml.

The above situation would come up if:

1. You don't have the latest version of either the aveksa.ear or the aveksaWFArchitect.ear.
2. The aveksa.ear is customized and an older version of the acmConfig.jar was copied.

in the example below the aveksa.ear file had an older version of the acmConfig.jar and was pointing to Workpoint 3.5, where the  aveksaWFArchitect.ear was correct and had an updated acmConfig.jar pointing Workpoint 4.1.

The Workpoint license in the aveksa.ear (in the aveksa.ear\APP-INF\lib\acmConfig.jar\license.xml) shows version 3.5:

The Workpoint licence in aveksaWFArchitect.ear (in the aveksaWFArchitect.ear\APP-INF\lib\acmConfig.jar\license.xml) shows version 4.1:

Resolution

To resolve the error:

1. Download fresh RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.0.1 installation files from the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.0.1 Download page. 
2. Explode the downloaded aveksa.ear and aveksaWFArchitect.ear.
3. Make sure the license.xml file under aveksa.ear\APP-INF\lib\acmConfig.jar and aveksaWFArchitect.ear\APP-INF\lib\acmConfig.jar are pointing to the same version.
4. Redeploy both the .ear files in WebSphere and restart the applications.
