Proposed solution

Last Updated : Jul 18, 2012 |

When the existing license file and the new license file for a given product have different SID values, you cannot install the new license file when a license file exists on the WebLM server. You must uninstall the existing license file from the WebLM server and then install a new license file on the server.

Before you begin

Log on to the WebLM web console with administrator privilege credentials.

Procedure

  1. For a standard or an enterprise license file, where enterprise or local WebLM configuration is not set:
    1. To uninstall the existing license file, click Uninstall license, and follow the instructions provided in Removing a license file.
      Note:

      The system removes the existing license file for the product. You lose all the existing usage data for the product.

    2. To install a new license file, click Install license, and follow the instructions provided in Installing a license file.

      The system installs the new license file for the product.

  2. For an enterprise license file, where you added local WebLM servers:
    1. In the left navigation pane, click Licensed products and select the product name.
    2. Click Local WebLM Configuration > Delete local WebLM.
    3. Click Delete.
      Note:

      The system removes the license file allocated to the local WebLM servers that you added to this enterprise setup. As a result, licensed applications which are in the process of acquiring licenses from the local WebLM servers fail to acquire any new licenses or renew the existing licenses.

    4. To uninstall the existing license file, click Uninstall license, and follow the instructions provided in Removing a license file.
      Note:

      The system removes the existing license file for the product. You lose all the existing usage data for the product.

    5. To install a new license file, click Install license, and follow the instructions provided in Installing a license file.

      The system installs the new license file for the product. You must configure the enterprise again, add local WebLM servers, and allocate the license for the local WebLM servers you added.
