I’ve never seen such a message, and I certainly have never had to restart the server for a license import to take effect. Quite curious.

Assuming you’ve received the license file via email: how did you transfer the license to the server? I highly recommend you do not try to do anything via copy & paste. Instead save the license file in your mail client to a text file, then transfer the license file via scp (on a Windows client you can use WinSCP) to the server, log in, run univention-license-import name-of-file-you-have-just-transferred.txt

univention-license-import   name of the file I have transferred.txt

Server error message:
The LDAP base of the license does not match the LDAP base of the UCS domain (dc=campus,dc=ba,dc=edu,dc=af).

Hey,

the DN in the license file must be the same that your server is using as its base DN. You can verify that by comparing the output of grep '^dn:' your-license-file.license with ucr get ldap/base

If they differ, then the license won’t work. I assume that it’s just due to a typo or some other honest mistake. In that case do what the error message says: contact whoever you purchased the license from, explain the situation and and ask them to change the license to the correct DN.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I got the same error, I thought i’d quickly reboot the server while I installed filezilla to SCP and after a reboot the import completed without a problem!

#7

FWIW I had the same issue today, rebooting the host solved it (running the current version, i.e. 4.3-3 errata451)

#8

Same issue, reboot worked. Must be something associated with FQDN, perhaps the service did not restart during install?
