Re: [Xen-users] [XCP] Host Disabled, License expired, Can't renable

[<admin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The key is the 'g' in the sed line if you have a pool.  If you have
previously tried it without the 'g' and it failed, try it with the 'g'.  It
does work in pools when the 'g' is included.

Personally, I'd like to see all of the expiry code completely removed and
full XCP support added to XenCenter.  The current issues with expiration and
version quirks creates a lot of confusion when a new user dives into XCP.
At a first glance, it always appears that XCP is going to only be usable for
30 days.  The expiration warnings are scaring some people away from XCP.

Hi. Thanks for the insight. I've made the changes several times. When I
start back up xapi, the DB reverts the expiry to its previous values..
