Owncloud Invalid license key

[lirees]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install UCS v5
2. Connect to Existing Active Directory MS

Expected behaviour

Use owncloud with free license

Actual behaviour

owncloud show a popup message that report : " Invalid license key!
Please contact your administrator or sales@owncloud.com for a new license key."

Server configuration

UCS v5

**ownCloud version: 10.7

**Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install: free installation

If possible, I’d recommend you to update to 10.8. There is a button to remove the license in the “enterprise license key” section (your last screenshot), so it’s easier to use it.
If it isn’t possible, you’ll need to remove the license manually from the DB (table oc_appconfig, appid enterprise_key), and in the config.php file (if present). Remove the entries, not just set an empty value.

[lirees]

i have no keys ‘enterprise_key’ in the field appid :

MariaDB [owncloud]> use owncloud
Database changed
MariaDB [owncloud]> select * from oc_appconfig where appid = ‘enterprise_key’;
Empty set (0.000 sec)

[lirees]

also the config.php is empty:

[jvillafanez]

Are you sure you’re looking at the right places? Because ownCloud is detecting a license and those two are the only places where the license could be.
Could you show the config.php file (with any private data replaced)?

[eneubauer]

I don’t think Univention appliance offers oC 10.8 yet.

@lirees

select * from oc_appconfig where appid = ‘enterprise_key’;

When I copied this I got:
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column '‘enterprise_key’' in 'where clause'

Not sure how you created this post, but make sure to check for string:

MariaDB [owncloud]> select * from oc_appconfig where appid = "enterprise_key";

Another new installation, this time with Univention Corporate Server 5.0-1 errata176, but alway the same problem …i don’t understand because there are no other peoples that have the same problem

the step is very simple :

1. download from UCS Download as ISO or VMware Image – Univention the “VMware ESXi (1,2 GB)”

2. Deploy the new VM from ESXi server … the config of VM it’s already done ( it’s OVA file ), must do only click on next button to start the VM

3. Connect UCS to Microsoft active directory domain

4. finish the installation and update the system, at the first logon i upload the license of UCS

5. install owncloud from app center

6. login to owncloud with the Microsoft administrator credential and the result is :

in the oc_appconfig there is not any appid = enterprise_key

I’m tired … i have made many installation with a different HW and ESXi servers and the result is alway the same, from today i’ll migrate to another system

[jvillafanez]

also the config.php is empty

Empty as in “file is missing” or “file without any content”, or it’s just the file has other content but there isn’t any reference to a license?

The config.php file musn’t be empty. It must have other information. If it’s empty it isn’t probably the right file.

[lirees]

I meant that the file does not have the enterprise_key string inside it:

• What is inside the owncloud/config folder perhaps there are other example.config.php files.
• You are using UCS which is based on docker, perhaps the environment has the license key set as variable? Find the owncloud docker folder on the UCS system and check all docker-(compose) and .env files. Perhaps UCS has some kind of interface were you can set environment variables.
  Alternatively you could also check whether this is set by running env in the ownCloud docker container (it needs to be properly initialised when starting the shell though)

According the the ownCloud docker base image the ENV variable is OWNCLOUD_LICENSE_KEY.
But I’m not sure if the appliance image is also based in this image.

[pprivately]

I am facing same problem and can not find solution.

Funny thing: owncloud worked for me, but something happened and now it is displaying this “nag message”. I am personally blaming OwnCloud, but I am not 100% sure.

1. I did not have multiple config.php files in /var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/owncloud/conf/. Please do not suggest there is something wrong with auto-generated config. It worked well, until…
2. OWNCLOUD_LICENSE_KEY is NOT set in running docker image. At least in my case. It is also not set in Univention registry (ucr dump | grep OWNCLOUD).
3. There was no suggested entry in MySQL database (=> nothing to delete).

What else could be a problem? I hope it is not agressive OwnCloud marketing…

BTW (ucr dump | grep version/)
version/erratalevel: 177
version/patchlevel: 1
version/releasename: Blumenthal
version/version: 5.0

OwnCloud docker image:

version	10.7.0.4
versionstring	10.7.0
edition	Community
productname	ownCloud
hostname	7d5525349be0

Could it be the reason that Univention Owncloud appliance is shipped with “ownCloud X Enterprise Theme” which requires enterprise licensing? Can I somehow switch template to community one?

[pprivately]

Perhaps I need to stop barking DO NOT put (defaulted) “” (double quotation marks) in Univention App Centre details. Make sure you have blanks instead of double quotation marks.
Univention GUI seems to got broken?

/var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/owncloud/conf/config.php:
‘license-key’ => ‘""’,
‘marketplace.key’ => ‘""’,

Something is going crazy in /var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/owncloud/data/files/owncloud.log too:
root@myhost:~# tail -n 1 /var/lib/univention-appcenter/apps/owncloud/data/files/owncloud.log
{“reqId”:“xfFZ64LhQMFtFWVSeyHl”,“level”:3,“time”:“2021-12-29T18:31:51+00:00”,“remoteAddr”:“172.17.42.1”,“user”:“owncloud”,“app”:“PHP”,“method”:“GET”,“url”:"/owncloud/license/licenseMessage?app=core",“message”:“in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given at /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/License/BasicLicense.php#77”}

[lirees]

the problem always persist … for all the new installation ( esxi, iso vmware … )

have any one found any solution ?

[YFinder]

I too have the same problem. When i am in Settings->General There is no license key in the box and the ‘remove current license key’ does nothing.

sales@owncloud told me to turn off Enterprise features but we only downloaded the free version and installed Lets Encrypt. Nothing else and this message.

[jvillafanez]

Where did you download the package from? If it’s the univention VM you might want to ask in their forums. I don’t think they’re requiring a license but better to doble-check

As far as I know, neither the docker package nor the source one shouldn’t have this problem.

[Jamesrobert5]

This Problem is not getting resolved I think it always persist after the new installation, is there anyone who found the solution about this problem ?

[lirees]

i dont’ know the details about t he installation but the owncloud is managed as docker container

i have already try to write in the ucs forum but i have not received any solutions

Owncloud Invalid license key!

the problem is always present !!!
