Updating your license file

You can update your Diffusion™ license file without having to restart the Diffusion server. Copy the new file over the old and ensure that the timestamp is updated.

Obtain a new or renewed license file from DiffusionData.
When your license file expires, the Diffusion server continues to run for another day before it stops. We recommend you update your license file before your existing license file expires.
  1. Copy the new license file (license.lic) over the existing file in the diffusion_directory/etc directory.
    You do not need to stop or restart the server.
    Note that in versions before Diffusion 6.6, the license filename was licence.lic. Versions 6.6 and above will look for a license file called license.lic first, and if that file does not exist, licence.lic will be used if it is present.
  2. Check that the timestamp of license.lic has updated.
    • On Windows™ , you might have to use the following command to copy the file over and force the timestamp to update: COPY /B license.lic +,,
  3. Diffusion checks the timestamp of the license.lic every minute. If the license file has been updated, Diffusion reloads it and logs this to stdout.
  4. You can verify that the license file has been updated in the server by accessing the mbean com.pushtechnology.diffusion > Server > LicenseExpiryDate
