Hi,
I'm using FOP 2 in an OpenVZ virtual machine. To get a license you need a MAC-Address. I read set it is possible by using a veth device. As I am using a clustered setup, it is not easy to set up a veth device for me. Is there any other way I can get a license? In my scenario a veth device just for licening is oversized.

No, there is no other way. The veth device is dummy, it does not need to be up. But it provides the valid mac address.
I successfully licensed fop2 with a veth device with no ip. Thanks for this info.
After licening it is no longer possible to start fop2 with "service fop2 start" as it was working befor. I can start fop2 with "/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server &".
Any idea how to fix this? I'm on centos 4.

No idea why the service will break.. does it give you any errors ? If you want to background the server when running it by hand it is best to use the -d switch instead of the last &
service fop2 start
says "ok", but the service is not starting or it terminates right after starting with no error message.
Same with -d switch. No error, but the service is not starting.
With "/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server &" in /etc/rc.local fop2 starts automatically after reboot and is working without any errors so far. Do you think I will have any disadvantages with this solution?
No disadventages as far as I know, but it is not very practical. It would be nice to know the error! Can you try:
/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -X 511 -d
and see if it produces any output ? Be sure to kill your running instance first.
Best regards,
/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -X 511 -d
gives no output and the server is not starting
