Resetting Urchin license keys in Windows
We just through a big hassle to fix our demo license with urchin after we mistakenly updated the server name that it was installed on. We had done a fair bit of data setting up profiles and log sources and did not want to have to redo it all… so we set about to hack the gibson. Finally we figured out the steps:
1) Stop the urchin services
2) Run mysql and login as root or the urchin user
mysql -u root -p [enter password]
use urchin;
update uglobals set ucgl_serial = ”,ucgl_license=”;
commit;
3) Go to your C:\Program Files\Urchin6\util directory and run
ugetlicense.exe -s whateverfakestuffyouwant
Which will error out with a “ERROR: License Retrieval Failed! (-5)” message, which is OK
4) Restart urchin services
5) Reload your admin interface (by default http://localhost:9999)
6) Activate another demo license key.
This should retain all of your previous profiles, settings, log sources and users but will allow you to use a new server name/server. Enjoy!
