WebLogic License Updating
Here we go to update the BEA License file ...

What happens if it is not updated?

1. We cannot have more instances on the same domain it is limiting to 5 instances only.

2. If you had the 5th instance including your Admin in RUNNING state but, you cannot access the console.

What is the resolution for this situation?

Update your BEA/Oracle Licence as per the given steps.

Stop all server instances which are already running.

Update this on every machine.

Remove "servers" folder

1. Click the license link:http://licensecodes.oracle.com/bea.html

choose here "BEA WebLogic Server Products" As per your operating environment you can choose the update.zip file.

2. Download you application suitable license zip file I have choosen version as "9.2 - 9.2mp3" -- LIC-WLSP92

3. Take a backup of the old license file

cp license.bea license.bea_bkp

4. Place the downloaded new license file (license.bea_new) in the BEA_HOME

4. Run the following command.

$ ./UpdateLicense.sh license.bea_new

Here it will apply the new lincense modifications on to the license.bea file directly.

If this command failed revert back to the old backup.


Now your license is ready to use more than 5 users (Clustered environment).

Start the servers and check for availability of new license.
