Solution
NOTE: If the machine where ListManager is installed does not have web access, this solution will not work. See the How to Activate ListManager Without Internet Access or Behind a Firewall or Internet Proxy article for a solution if your system has no internet access.
Refresh Activation in ListManager
- Log on to ListManager as an Administrator
- Navigate to Utilities > Administration > Server > Operational Statistics > License Capabilities
- Click the Clear Activation button
- Click the Get Activation button
- Refresh the page to view the updated license capabilities
Refresh Activation from the Windows Command Prompt:
- Log on to your ListManager Windows Server as an Administrator
- Navigate to Start Menu > Run, and type
cmd
in the "Open" field
- Navigate to the directory where ListManager is installed, the default location is accessed with:
cd C:\Program Files\ListManager
- Enter
lm clearactivation
- Enter
lm getactivation
NOTE: If the ListManager server's internal IP changes it must be updated in the tclhttpd.rc settings file. Then the ListManager and Web services must be restarted. Until this step is performed the ListManager server won't answer HTTP requests.
