Overview

To configure your Orion Platform product to use a new database, you need to deactivate licenses, run the Configuration wizard, and reactivate the licenses.

Cause

Starting with Orion Platform 2017.3, licenses are stored in the database. Without deactivating the current licenses, you won't be able to use the license keys for activation in the new database.

  1. Log in to the Orion Web Console as an Administrator.
  2. Deactivate your licenses  Click Settings > All Settings > License Manager, and click Deactivate for all licenses.
  3. Run the Configuration wizard for Database, select New Database, and complete the wizard.
  4. Activate your licenses with the License Manager .

Your Orion Platform product will store polled data into the new database.
