Activating CMP

Liferay DXP 2026.Q4+

The Liferay Content Marketing Platform (CMP) is a set of add-on features in the Liferay CMS. CMP requires a separate license. To get CMP, go to One Liferay, open Content Marketing Platform in the Products Catalog, and click Contact Sales. Once your order is complete, you get the activation key from your project on One Liferay.

To activate CMP, follow these steps:

Download and install the Liferay DXP bundle, if you don’t have an instance yet. See Installing a Liferay Tomcat Bundle or Using Liferay Docker Images.
On One Liferay, get the CMP .lpkg file and a CMP activation key from your project.

To download the CMP .lpkg file, go to My Account → Projects → Products. See One Liferay’s documentation for a tour of these pages.

To get the CMP activation key, go to My Account → Projects → Activation.
Deploy the .xml activation key file to your Liferay DXP instance.

For Tomcat servers, place it in the Liferay Home/deploy folder. For Docker containers, copy it into the container’s deploy directory:
```
docker cp license.xml [container-id]:/opt/liferay/deploy/
```

Deploy the .lpkg file the same way.

docker cp [cmp-package].lpkg [container-id]:/opt/liferay/deploy/

Restart Liferay DXP.

Installing the .lpkg requires a restart. On startup, the console logs a message confirming the .lpkg deployed successfully.

CMP is active once a Planning section appears in the Liferay CMS. You can begin by creating a project.

Begin kicking off projects once the CMP is activated.

License Expiration

When the license expires, the Planning section and its Projects and Tasks pages disappear from the Liferay CMS navigation within an hour of the expiration.

Expiration doesn’t delete your projects, tasks, or the content linked to them. They’re available again after you renew the license.

Every CMP REST API operation under /o/headless-cmp/v1.0/ returns HTTP 400, even for a well-formed request, until you renew the license.

To reactivate CMP, contact your Liferay sales representative to renew your CMP license. To get the new activation key, open One Liferay and go to My Account → Projects → Activation. Deploy the key the same way you deployed the original license file, to Liferay Home/deploy or the container’s deploy directory. Liferay DXP applies the renewed key without a restart, and the Planning section and its Projects and Tasks pages return within an hour, or immediately after a restart.
