If you forget to pay your monthly license fee on time the local license key will expire and LiteSpeed Web Server/LiteSpeed Web ADC will stop working (usually 7 days past your due date). Then, when you pay the invoice, the license's expiration date will be updated in our license system immediately. However, you still need to manually restore the expired local license key.
Please do the following.
LiteSpeed Web Server:
SSH in to the server. assuming LiteSpeed Web Server was installed to /usr/local/lsws
cd /usr/local/lsws
If conf/license.key.bad exists, enter this command:
mv conf/license.key.bad conf/license.key
If not, try
bin/lshttpd -r
to grab a key from server. Once you have conf/license.key, enter this command
bin/lshttpd -V
bin/lswsctrl start
If the above does not work for you, you need to release the license key and register a new one.
Go to our site and log in to the client area and click Services->My Services->View Details->Release License
Then enter this command
bin/lshttpd -r
This should give you the up-to-date license key.
LiteSpeed Web ADC:
SSH in to the server. assuming LiteSpeed Web ADC was installed to /usr/local/lslb
cd /usr/local/lslb
If conf/license.key.bad exists, enter this command:
mv conf/license.key.bad conf/license.key
If not, try
bin/lslbd -r
to grab a key from server. Once you have conf/license.key, enter this command
bin/lslbd -V
bin/lslbctrl start
If the above does not work for you, you need to release the license key and register a new one.
Go to our site and log in to the client area and click Services->My Services->View Details->Release License
Then enter this command
bin/lslbd -r
This should give you the up-to-date license key.
