Can't Revoke FOP2 License

  1. 8 years ago

    Migrated an FOP2 instance to a VM and the license wasn't valid so I activated a standby license. Now I can't deactiveate the license and I plan on scrapping this VM to start fresh. Please help..

  3. I would still like to try to reproduce the steps so I can share them with you, but I am afraid to mess up my license, so I will tell them again, just so you can possibly test and see if it can be avoided.

    Basically, you have an active licensed installation on Server A

    On server B, you install FOP2, then remove the directories /usr/local/fop2 and /var/www/html/fop2 and copy those directories from Server A.

    The installation on Server B now has a fop2.lic file from Server A but it won't work since everything is different, so I used a DIFFERENT license then the one on Server A to activate Server B. This worked fine, but I couldn't revoke the License on Server B.

    Perhaps I did something wrong, its always possible!, but from now on, I will be installing FOP2 and just activate the license and then import the Database, possibly the files from /var/www/html/ but not the /usr/local/fop2 where the fop2.lic is stored.

    Regardless, I appreciate your prompt response both in the forum and @ support.asterinic.biz where my license was manually revoked.
