Reset Licence Active IP's

gband
Hello. By mistake, DHCP server assigned ip addresses to a number of computers, exceeding this way astaro licensed users. Ι removed this machine from the network but dhcp displays these leases and astaro considers them as active, refusing connections to company's  computers. Is there a way to reset the leases from dhcp and from license’s active ip addresses?

Regards

    Hi, IPs expire from license counting after 7 days.

    If you can't wait that long, you could backup, re-install, and restore; however, you'd lose your logs and reporting history if you did so.

    So, there is no "manual" to reset the dhcp leases and active ip's counters? i don't  want to reinstall (loose logs) or wait 7 days.

    There is a way to do this manually (via command line), but I would not want to post it; while I have no doubt you are not one of them, many folks would use this to "cheat" the system.

    One other thing that should work that you can do that any admin could do:

    1) Get a good unencrypted backup, copy it to an empty USB stick
    2) Go into Webadming and perform a factory reset
    3) Reboot the unit with the USB stick inserted, it will automatically restore the backup.
    4) Note that the factory reset will erase all logs and reporting data.
