Upgrading the database makes the license invalid (due to the checksum for “Server ID" changes)

[Rebse (Gilbert Rebhan)]

Hi Valeriia,

we had the same problem when upgrading our db version and did as proposed here

Upgrades with docker containers changes server ID?

Hi @NemligTim, Yes, it will, as the license is tied to a specific ServerID. Just send your new ServerID (in your Administration menu, System infos) to your Sales rep, with the old one, so he/she can adjust the license key and generate a new one, tied to this new ServerID. Carine

and

Will the Server ID change if I move SonarQube to a new host/instance?

Vineet, You cannot edit your Server ID. If you have a stable Server ID (your Database won’t be wiped and started again), you should request a new license from contact@sonarsource.com. Best regards, Colin

If your update runs within normal business time you will get a quick respone with a new license
from Sonarsources sales team.
