Changing the license file

When the SLM server refuses the former license file and stops running, you cannot use the MMC snap-in to change the host ID.

To change the file:

  1. Create a backup of the ... /license/1/6005/license.xml. If you used another port than 6005, substitute this number with the port number you use.
  2. Open the .../license/1/6005/license.xml file with a text editor.
  3. Replace the string behind the key attribute with an empty string:

    key="2ee028f5a2d15a1427645973224f8a0c"

    Change to:

    key=""

  4. Substitute the host ID and name attributes with the numbers produced by SlmId: 
    <host
	name="server1"
	id="78990"
	port="6005"
	editState="active"
/>
  5. Change all lines with:

    editState="active"

    to:

    editState="add"

  6. Save the changed file to ../license/1/6005/license.xml.
  7. Start the SLM server process. The process continues to run, but will not honor any license request.
  8. Send the changed request file for a new activation code to: http://www.infor.com/inforxtreme.
  9. Use the MMC snap-in to send the new activation code to the SLM server process.
    Back up the $SLMHOME environment again if the SLM server accepts the new activation code. The SLM server process can now service license requests.
