Today (Dec 30, 2013), I realized that one of my Citrix Xenserver 6.1 license got expired because i have not checked this expired Server/Hypervisor since so long. Citrix XenCenter interface was not allowing me to apply new license via XenCenter interface due to expiry of existing license.
I tried looking for the solution on the internet for how to apply license again on expired Xenserver however did not find very help full blog or article by anyone.
I tried many solutions provided via community members and found one use full comment which actually solved my issue.
Here is the same for other in need.
1. Login to the xenserver via ssh.
2. Upload the new license to your xenserver which you have download from citrix web site.
3. Get the host uuid number.
xe host-list
Example output: uuid ( RO) : 11e379b0-4d49-474c-8355-5d8cf25048e5
4. Apply new license via command line.
xe host-license-add license-file=license-03-09-2013.xslic host-uuid=11e379b0-4d49-474c-8355-5d8cf25048e5
Let me know if this helps anyone else.
Thanks & Regards
