Qlik Talend Administration Center: License Token Validation without Internet Connection

[Aman_Malviya]

When using Talend Administration Center, you may encounter the following message

Error: License token will expire in xx days

This message refers to the license token expiring, not the license itself.

Resolution

Talend Administration Center has Internet access

• TAC automatically validates the license token.
• No manual action required.

Talend Administration Center has no Internet access

If TAC does not have Internet connectivity, follow these steps

1. Go to Talend Administration Center page and click:
   • Validate your license manually OR
   • Generate Validation Request (button name depends on TAC version).
2. A popup window will display a validation link (e.g. https://www.talend.com/api/get_tis_validation_token_form.php).
3. Copy this link into a text file.
4. On a machine with Internet access:
   • Paste the link into a browser.
   • Retrieve the validation token (e.g. 5xEfMp1ozPyiDTTUqzUHI8K3Xuvqx/iipc+).
5. Return to TAC on the offline system.
6. In the popup window:
   • Paste the validation token.
   • Click Enter validation token.

Your license token is now validated manually.

Cause

Talend Administration Center (TAC) requires an Internet connection during license token validation and the license token must be periodically validated.

• If TAC has Internet access, the token is validated automatically.
• If TAC does not have Internet access, you must manually validate the license token.

Summary

If TAC has Internet access, license token validation is automatic. If not, use the manual validation process by generating a request, retrieving the validation token from another machine, and pasting it back into TAC.
