Purpose

Replace or renew an existing license with a new license file.

Preconditions

• A replacement license file and a backup of the current license (if available).
• Access to the app's admin UI or an API token that can update licenses.

Steps

1. Back up current license (if an API exists):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "https://APP_BASE_URL/api/license" -o current-license.json

2. Upload new license (UI or API). Example API call:

curl -X POST "https://APP_BASE_URL/api/license" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -F "license=@./new-license.lic"

3. Verify the new license details (expiration, enabled features).

Rollback

• If the new license causes issues, re-upload the backed-up current-license.json or use whatever restore flow the app provides.

Troubleshooting

• 4xx errors: check token permissions and file format.
• 5xx errors: check server logs and contact the app author.

TODO for app author

• Replace placeholders with real endpoints and UI navigation instructions.
