Title: Zentyal Community 6.1 -> 6.2 "Activation Required"
Post by: AxxelH on July 05, 2020, 09:29:04 am

Running Zentyal 6.1 development/community edition in a homelab. After following the upgrade documentation to upgrade to 6.2:

https://doc.zentyal.org/en/upgrade.html

Logging into the 6.2 instance results in prompt for an activation key. I restored from backups and attempted a commandline upgrade to similar effect (/usr/share/zentyal/release-upgrade).

Is this a known issue?

I was able to confirm this is because the 6.2 upgrade process creates /var/lib/zentyal/.license_type. Removing this file allows the development edition to operate normally.

However, I assume the creation of this file during the upgrade is a bug.

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this. Development Team confirmed and fixed the bug already (with the package 'zentyal-core 6.1.6').

To fix the issue, simply delete the following files and restart the webadmin:

sudo rm /var/lib/zentyal/.commercial-edition /var/lib/zentyal/.license*

sudo zs webadmin restart

BR.
