Although, it is not mentionned in the instalation manual, we tried to copy the license file we have either as is or renamed as license.txt and it still gives the same message.

We are stuck, is there a solution or something

Hi @modususer ,

This may indicate a problem with your license file (e.g. corruption or expired dates). The easiest check is to open the file and check the license expiry date. It will be in plain text. If that is good, there still may be a problem with the hash, if it got corrupted. Does the same exact license file work in any other environment in your organization? Also, is this a trial or production installation of CDP Base you are trying to do?

Regards,

Alex

@modususer ,

After installation, log on to Cloudera Manager and select Administration > License to go to the license page.

Upload your license file on that page to activate it.

If you want/need to apply the license from the command line, you can do so using the REST API. The curl command below is an example of how you can do that:

curl \ -X POST \ -u admin:admin \ "http://cm-home.example.com:7180/api/v43/cm/license" \ -F license=@/path/to/license.txt

Cheers,

André

Unfortunately, there is no API to call yet as the Base is not starting. It is strange as I thought the licence would be ask at login in Cloud Manager

License file has a valid expiration date, currently December of 2022

It is a development license

Licence was recognize in another intent of installation via installler on another VM under CentOs 7
