Activating the License for a Live Site

To active your license you need to:

• Delete any old .key AND .lic file from the root of the site
• Insert the new .key file in the root of the site
• Restart the application pool and make a first request to the website. A valid license will generate a .lic file in the sites root folder.

Your license will be activated the first time you open up the Ucommerce backoffice. Licenses can be activated up to three times on different servers, but should only be used for the site that the license is bought for.

The Developer Banner Won't Disappear

If you have followed the guide above and the banner won’t disappear, please take a look at the log files for any indication what might have caused the issue. Typically the license is overactivated.

Should this be the case please contact [email protected] and they will be able to help you out.
