Why Did My License Stop Working?⁠

Question: Why did my license key suddenly stop working?

Answer:

AWS License⁠

If you're using an EC2 instance with an AWS license and your license has stopped working, it may be due to a security group blocking access to the licensing systems. Refer to our troubleshooting guide:

Subscription or fixed license⁠

If you purchased a subscription or fixed license from our website and it suddenly stopped functioning, it could be due to one of two reasons:

  1. Expired License: The license may have expired. Check the expiration.

  2. Hardware/Software Changes: Significant changes to your hardware or software configuration might have caused the licensing system to recognize your system as different. This can invalidate a fixed license.
