To clarify....
Do you have two machines (one, your PC, the other, a server running Win Server 2008...)? Your Enterprise License ran out on the server, and you then installed an instance of Splunk on you PC?
If so, you should have the machines
using different ports (for best
practice, even if they are separate by
IP addresses), and then there should be no issue. You can do this with the following commands
" splunk set web-port <port> " & " splunk set splunkd-port <port> "
You should be able to login, if the
license has expired you normally get a
message in the top message bar and
list of licensing options, of which a
free license is the choice (have you
tried the default login/pword
"admin/changeme"). If you have forgotten the admin password, you try this.
Or you have one machine and tried to install another instance of Splunk onto it?
If so, Windows can only handle having one installation per machine. If you unistalled everything correctly, and re-installed, you should use default admin password. Splunk will default to using port 8000 and 8089, however if it detects those ports are used, it should advise this during installation.
