IT Analytics Licensing Guide

Change the license edition

IT Analytics 11.8 does not allow adding a new license of a different edition than what is currently installed. To install a license of a different edition, you must remove the existing IT Analytics 11.8 license and then install the new license.

To remove the current licenses, run these commands based on the OS:

  • On Linux, execute this script as a root user.

    /opt/aptare/utils/removeLicenseFiles.sh

  • On Windows, execute this script as an administrator:

    C:\ opt\aptare\utils\removeLicenseFiles.bat
