*Except Fisheye and Crucible

Symptoms

Fisheye still points to an outdated/expired license even after updating it with the new license key via the UI.

Resolution

Check in the <FISHEYE_HOME>/config.xml file, for the following tag and ensure it has the latest/correct license key:

1 2 3 4 <license SID="YOUR_SERVER_ID_GOES_HERE"> <fisheye>YOUR_FISHEYE_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE</fisheye> <crucible>YOUR_CRUCIBLE_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE</crucible> </license>

Please restart your Fisheye instance after modifying the <FISHEYE_HOME>/config.xml file.

If the problem persists, please generate a Support Zip and contact Atlassian Support for further help.
