Replacing or Removing a License Key in an HTTP License Server
The following procedure assumes that your Oxygen XML Web Author HTTP license server contains a previously activated license key and provides instructions for replacing it with another one or removing it completely.
This is useful if, for instance, you want to upgrade your existing license to the latest version.
Finding the URL of the License Server
To find the URL of the License Server that is currently being used, go to the Web Author Administration page and select License. In the License Server section, click on the license server link. Then log in using the License Server's admin user credentials.
Replacing a License Key
