You can update your
Diffusion™
license file without having
to restart the
Diffusion
server. Copy the new file over the old
and ensure that the timestamp is updated.
Obtain a new or renewed license file from DiffusionData.
When your license file expires, the
Diffusion
server
continues to run for another day before it stops. We recommend you update your license
file before your existing license file expires.
-
Copy the new license file (license.lic) over the existing
file in the diffusion_directory/etc
directory.
You do not need to stop or restart the server.
Note that in versions before
Diffusion
6.6, the license filename
was licence.lic. Versions 6.6 and above will look for a license file
called license.lic first, and if that file does not exist,
licence.lic will be used if it is present.
-
Check that the timestamp of license.lic has updated.
- On
Windows™
, you might have to use the
following command to copy the file over and force the timestamp to update:
COPY /B license.lic
+,,
-
Diffusion
checks the timestamp of the
license.lic every minute. If the license file has been
updated,
Diffusion
reloads it and logs this to
stdout.
-
You can verify that the license file has been updated in the server by
accessing the mbean
