Hi Splunkers,

I would like to know if you have this issue on adding a Splunk license :

"Bad Request — Splunk.License: failed to parse license because: The license file with signature ********* has been revoked. Please file a case online at http://www.splunk.com/page/submit_issue.";

What might cause the issue and what the probable solution.

We've figured this out,
It seems the term license was not renewed by our client, that why it shows the error.

It's a good thing to ask the client and the sales support team for this.

Raise a splunk support case. They will issue a new splunk.license file. Please try again.
It was worked for me.

Could you tell me what causes the issue?
Have you experienced it before?
Is it on our part of a Splunk issue itself ?

I have asked the same question. They told it seems file might be crashed. They suggested to install the new license which they have provided.
