RE: [Xen-API] XCP and XenCenter License Expiration Annoyance

[Tomoiaga Cristian <cristi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just overwrite the XCP xapi version as outlined in the documentation/XCP 
website and apply a free XenServer license to XCP (from XenCenter). Everything 
will be ok after that and no functionality will be lost even if the license is 
for a free XenServer.

Subject: [Xen-API] XCP and XenCenter License Expiration Annoyance


A few months ago Rob Hoe (citrix) posted this response to the list:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should ignore whatever XenCenter says about licenses when using it for XCP. 
The expiry date has no effect, is not enforced and won't cause any harm to your 
VMs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although it's true that the expiry date has no effect on VM functionality it 
makes XenCenter almost unusable given the constant expiration pop up 
notifications.  Does anyone know if there's anyway to stop those messages? 
At this point there just are no viable alternatives to using XenCenter to 
manage an XCP based pool.  At the OpenStack conference last week I saw (in the 
Quantum talk) that RackSpace is using XenCenter to help them manage their Xen 
based cloud.  But, I suspect they're running Xen 5.6 free vs. 
XCP 1.0 since I didn't see any license expirations warnings pop up in the demo.
