Problem

You need to replace an API Gateway or API Manager license file post-install.

Resolution

Copy the new license file to /apigateway/conf/licenses/ and remove any older, expired .lic files from the directory. The new license file must have a .lic extension and must be readable by the user running the gateway process. License files are signed text files, so you can read them with any text editor to ensure that you have the correct file, but note that any accidental changes will invalidate the signature, including accidental changes to the line endings (e.g. changing CR to CRLF or vice versa).

If you see an error like runtime environment does not match license criterion after installing the license file, please refer to KB 180083 for details on how to troubleshoot that.
