Troubleshooting licenses

If you experience issues with your license, attempt the following:

• If the capacity of a node in your cluster is 0, make sure that the license specified by license.url is a valid Swarm license. In particular, make sure that no one has manually edited the license. This will invalidate the license key.

  Note

  Swarm checks every 15 minutes for license updates. If your license was modified, the electronic signature in the license becomes invalid, causing Swarm to revert to the default license.
• If the capacity of a node is set to the default of 2 TB for an extended period of time, ensure that:
  • You have a valid Swarm license.
  • You set the license.url to the location of the license.
  • The location you specified is available to the cluster. If you set license.url to a location that became unavailable to the cluster soon after it was booted, Swarm uses the default 2 TB license because it was the last known valid license.
