Licenses are configured with an expiration date; your workgroup server will no longer start after your license expires. See the steps below on how to retrieve and install a new license.
Step 1: Obtain your license
Refer to the article, My license is expiring, how do I get a new one?, for information on how to get a new license.
Step 2: Install your license
1 The name of your new license file will be AutoPilotWMQ_xyz.lic, where xyz is the name of the workgroup server. Create a backup of this new file for safe keeping.
2 Stop the workgroup server.
3 Go to the General tab of the server's properties to determine the expiring license's location. Within the License File field, if only the license file name appears (the full path is not specified), then the file is located in the following default directory:
...Nastel\AutoPilotM6\localhost\
Otherwise, a custom file name path will appear within this field. Rename the expiring license file to back it up.
4 Transfer in your new license file within the path identified in step #3.
5 Restart your workgroup server.
Step 3: Confirm that your license was properly installed
Logs are created after the server is started. Check these logs to confirm that the license was successfully installed. Perform the following:
1 Open the following AutoPilot logs to view the details of your license file.
...Nastel\AUtoPilotM6\logs\log4j\hostname.log4j
2 If the license was successfully installed, the workgroup server will return the parameters of the license, similar to the following example:
