Resolution
- Make a backup of the configuration:
mysqldump -u <user> -p <urchindb> uglobals > output.sql.
Where <user> is the user Urchin uses to access the database and <urchindb> is the name of the Urchin database. You will be prompted for that user's password. - Log into the Urchin database and type the following command to set the serial:
UPDATE uglobals SET ucgl_serial='<purchased serial>';
This is your purchased Urchin serial that will be used to generate your license. - Then, type this SQL command to clear the license:
UPDATE uglobals SET ucgl_license="";
This being cleared, Urchin will be forced to generate a new license from your purchased serial. - Get a new license from Urchin. Run:
/path/to/urchin/util/ugetlicense (Linux), OR
C:\path\to\urchin\util\ugetlicense.exe (Windows).
Urchin will reach out to Google's servers to verify the serial and install a new license. - Restart Urchin Services
