I have a doubt regarding licenses. I have a server on which trial version is installed. I have got a new license file which is till June. 
 
Can you tell me is it possible to upgrade the trial version with this file or I would have to uninstall the controller and reinstall it with the new license ?

Hi,

Replacing the latest license.lic at <Controller_install_dir>/ path should simply do the work, Hope that answers your query. replace the existing license.lic file at controller directory and re-login controller ui and see if your license details are reflected under Setup -> License screen. 

We confirm to upgrade license user does "not" need to uninstall controller UI. Hope it clarifies.
