TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5 (BW5)/TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6 (BW6)

1. Stop the applications

2. Update the license property in the .tra files - bwappnode.tra in case of BW6 and bwengine.tra and deployed application .tra files in case of BW5. Replace the TIBCO® Activation Service (TAS) URL with the full path to the directory containing the license file.

For example,

Before -

java.property.license.license_source=https://activationserver.example.com:7070?fp=98fdb7e7d06fe3aac5841086684d8069d883984b4030ad8edfa97b363bc0620a

After -

java.property.license.license_source=c:/license

         Note - In case of BW 5.15.x and 5.14.x, the license property is TIB_ACTIVATION.

         For example,

    java.property.TIB_ACTIVATION=c:/license

3. Remove the license cache files. The cache files can be found under the user's home directory. The files are named amdcsjdsgljzdwcfhefgdlcsenzjbyse and amgnjyedgjezlfgzljsfnfjdlzjwfhle.

4. Start the applications.

5. Verify that the license mode is true and that the correct expiry date is shown.
