How to Renew License of FlexNet Code Insight 6X

[#1]

Summary

This article describes how to update your palamida.key file should the license expire

Synopsis

The palamida.key file used to license your installation of FlexNet Code Insight 6.X may need to be updated when the file expires. If this is required you will see the following message when attempting to start tomcat:

ERROR [localhost-startStop-1] [License] License has expired.

SOLUTION

1.  If you receive this message please contact our Technical Support team who will be happy to assist in the creation of a new palamida.key file.
2. Once you receive your new palamida.key file you will need to replace the existing file with the new file under the <INSTALL_HOME>
3. Modify the following elements in your configuration files:

PATH	property	Value
palamida/config/core/core.db.properties	db.password	Plain Text Password
palamida/config/core/core.properties	smtp.password	Leave blank if smtp is not enabled Plaintext  password otherwise
palamida/tomcat/webapps/palamida/WEB-INF/classes/core.common.properties	profile.rest.api.cache.password	Leave Blank
	smtp.password	Leave Blank
	palamida.ftp.server.password	P@l@m!d@3
palamida/config/core/core.ldap.properties	ldap.password	Leave blank if ldap is not enabled Plaintext  password otherwise

4. Once these changes have been made please restart tomcat to ensure your new palamida.key is read correctly.

Note : if you are using a linux machine , run  ' grep -r "ENC(" . ' 

The result should not show anything from the .properties files.

Discussion

If the configuration file password are not corrected prior to restarting tomcat then you may receive the following errors:
