Summary
Question
When there is an issue with the license. We can take the decision to remove the license from the Arcsight device. After that, apply the license one more time.
Answer
These are the steps to recreate the license, which is where the license is stored:
For appliances the License Store is located here:
/opt/arcsight/userdata/autopass/data/LicFile.txt
For Software:
{Installation_path}/userdata/autopass/data/LicFile.txt
So, to force recreation of an empty store
mv /opt/arcsight/userdata/autopass/data/LicFile.txt /tmp
Then restart Logger servers service and finally reapply all the respective licenses as the recreated store will be empty.
