Hi,
Splunk version: Splunk Enterprise 6.4.1
OS: Linux CentOS 7
We have a standalone Splunk enterprise where the license will soon expire. As we also have a distributed Splunk implementation with a lot of spare license on. We want to move one of our 5GB licenses from the distributed depolyment to the standalone server. Here is what we have done.
- Copied out the license XML from the distributed deployment.
- Deleted the license on the distributed deployment
- Installed the license on the standalone server.
Here is where the issue arises. When we install the license we get a success reply. But when we go back to the license overview the license hasn't been added. But it is saved in the /opt/splunk/etc/license/enterprise directory. And we can see it on the debug page "All license details". We have of course restarted Splunk after installing the new license.
From what I understand, there should not be any problems moving a license from one server to another. Is there anything that I am missing? Or is this a bug?
