Licensing error

Read 11511 times
Hi,
I have this problem with license.  When I start centova cast v3 on the server I have this result:

   Failed to obtain license update from any licensing server; license update failed
   License update failed; product not licensed
   
**** WARNING ****
License validation failed.  Daemon will reject all connections until a valid
license is installed
**** WARNING ****

I check the file license.conf: the key is correct.

On the Centova Cast - Settings Management on the Licensing Test when I run the test:
Test result: PASSED - Centova Cast can successfully communicate with the Centova Technologies license servers.

Details:

Testing server license1.centova.com ...
Host license1.centova.com resolves to 72.55.159.213
Connection successful and correct response received

I have try to reissue the license on the server but with no luck.
Can you post the rest of the message you're getting when starting Centova Cast?  The actual reason for the licensing error is shown just above what you pasted here.
I have this same problem also Steve have tried several different things with no luck -- see http://forums.centova.com/index.php?topic=1789.0

mentions: file from here: e /usr/local/centovacast//etc/license/license.key doesn't exist because i had issue error and i delete it in the try method of reissue.

Centova managment panel:

Account Information
License type:    Re-issuable - transferrable/refundable with periodic validation
License key:
XXXXXXX
License issued:    No
Licensed domain name:    cast.XXXX.com
So reissue was done first from website....

I also try to generate a valid license.key manually i don't know from where i have https.key or what password do i type when i run first line.
# generate HTTPS credentials
cd tree
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out https.key 1024
openssl req -new -nodes -key https.key -out https.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in https.csr -signkey https.key -out https.crt
cp https.key{,.orig}
openssl rsa -in https.key.orig -out https.key
....
Old style change date in past doesn't work either for v3 version.
It looks like your server's host name is set to "crt" instead of an actual fqdn. We should probably relax that restriction which I'll look into tomorrow but setting a valid for your server will allow your license to be processed.
I manage to generate a valid license key and validate it also
It is working fine now, anyway a good thing to know in future about the restriction by domain which can be chaged here : /etc/hostname/ into a valid ip address so you can validate the server
Have a nice day

Just an update to all who're interested -- this domain name limitation has been removed.
