Properties Editor - license renewal

The Properties editor uses a third-party library - AG Grid - that requires a valid license key. License keys expire after 12 months. To renew your license key, censhare publishes a patch annually, between August and September.

Install this patch even if you do not use the Properties editor in your censhare system!

How to install renewed licenses

There are different ways to install the renewed license. Select one of the following options and follow the instructions.

Update your system

1. Following the announcement in our Community Portal, download the release according to your running system.

2. Install the correct version and restart your server.

Patch the server with a .patch file

If you are not familiar with this way of patching, we strongly recommend to patch your server manually!

1. Download the correct patch file, e.g.  37796.patch.

2. Apply the patch file.

3. Restart the censhare server.

Patch the server manually

1. On the censhare server, open the following files in an editor:

   • censhare-Client5/web/src/ng1/client/DAM/widgets/propertiesEditor/properties-editor-widget.module.ts

   • censhare-Client5/web/src/ng1/client/DAM/widgets/propertiesEditor/properties-editor-widget.module.js

2. In both files, search for the license and replace it with the new license.

Important: The license key must not contain any line breaks!

3. Restart the server.

Patching without restarting the server

If you need to update the license on a running system without restarting the server, you can add the new license to the runtime of the censhare server.

To do this, replace the license in the following file:

censhare-Server/work/runtime-web/client/web/src/ng1/client/DAM/widgets/propertiesEditor/properties-editor-widget.module.js

However, your changes will be lost when you restart the server. We recommend that you also update the source files as described above, so that the new license is copied to the runtime after a restart.
