Updating your expiring Workgroup Server Expert 10.x license for Nastel Navigator

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.

 
Upgrading from v6.x to v10x: If you are upgrading from version 6.x to version 10x, please note that the license file for version 10.x differs from version 6.x. You can open your license file to view the parameters to confirm that you are using the correct license; licenses for version 10.x will have the parameter, EXPERT(YES). Please do not update the contents of the license file as this will invalidate the 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:
