Hello,

I am using ThingWorx 8.3.1.

ThingWorx was working fine on my windows 10 system as well as a cloud based windows server, while suddenly the license in the "ThingworxPlatform" folder changed from "successful_license_capability_response" to "ignored_license_capability_response" on both these windows systems.

Below is my application log.

What could be the possible reason?

 

I have tried re-downloading the license from the license management portal and placing it in the ThingworxPlatform folder by renaming it as "license_capability_response".

However, the same error occurs.

Thanks.

Hi @asn.

 

The solution to the final licensing issue was to create a service account (Windows) with Administrator rights and reconfigure the Tomcat service to run under this account.

 

For the original issue, it would be helpful if you would mark the appropriate response as the Accepted Solution for the benefit of others who may experience similar issues.

 

Regards.

Hi @raluca_edu,

 

As I am working in a secure restricted environment, I do not have the permissions to create a new user as explained in the article you suggested. Is there any other way around this?

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, I don't know another solution, but maybe someone from Community has another solution.
