Activating Liferay DXP
Subscription Required
Liferay DXP is activated using an XML (.xml
) activation key. It specifies your DXP subscription terms or trial agreement. When you run Liferay DXP for the first time, the license page appears and requests an activation key.
Activating DXP Using a Key
If you have an activation key, copy it to the deploy
folder in your Liferay Home.

If you’re using Liferay Connected Services (LCS) with Liferay DXP 7.2 or earlier, see the LCS documentation for instructions on activating your DXP instance with LCS.
Reactivating Liferay DXP
If you have a new DXP activation key and your DXP instance is currently activated by a key or by Liferay Connected Services (LCS), it’s best to remove remnants of the former activation method before deploying your new activation key. This removes any ambiguity as to which activation key you’re using.
Here are the steps for reactivating DXP with your new key:
Stop the application server.
If you’ve been using LCS to activate DXP, remove the Liferay Connected Services Client LPKG file (
.lpkg
) from yourosgi/marketplace
folder in your Liferay Home.Delete the contents of your
[Liferay Home]/data/license
folder but preserve the folder.Remove all
activation-key-[...].xml
files from your[Liferay Home]/osgi/modules
folder.Start the application server.
Copy your new activation key file to your
[Liferay Home]/deploy
folder.
A DXP console message confirms the registration.

You can continue using DXP.
