Issue
- My Liferay Docker Image is giving a warning message that the Activation Key needs to be updated:
ERROR [fileinstall-directory-watcher][LicenseManager:?] DXP Development license is expired
- We have noticed that the Liferay DXP Trial key is still being processed despite us deploying non-trial licenses into the container on startup
Environment
- Quarterly Releases
- DXP 7.4
- DXP 7.3
- DXP 7.2
- DXP 7.1
- DXP 7.0
Resolution
-
The trial license can be disabled in a Liferay Docker Image by setting the environment variable
LIFERAY_DISABLE_TRIAL_LICENSE=true, following the directions in this documentation on using Liferay env variables (please note that variables may be case-sensitive).
- For example, adding the
-e LIFERAY_DISABLE_TRIAL_LICENSE=true parameter to the docker start or run command will prevent the Trial license from being deployed, allowing the non-trial key to be used instead.
