Sitecore 9 License Location

As a part of go live activity, I was supposed to update Sitecore license on different environments. Before Sitecore 9, it was a an easy task with license present at just one location (inside data folder).

But now with Sitecore 9, with addition of Xconnect and IdentityServer sites, updating license isn’t as simple as before. Here is a list of locations where Sitecore license sits in case you wish to change –

1. Sitecore

1.1) Website (~sc-webroot~\App_Data)

2. Xconnect site

2.1) Website (~xconnect-webroot~\App_Data)

2.2) Automation Engine (~xconnect-webroot~\App_Data\jobs\continuous\AutomationEngine\App_Data)

2.3) Index Worker (~xconnect-webroot~\App_Data\jobs\continuous\IndexWorker\App_data)

2.4) Processing Engine* (~xconnect-webroot~\App_Data\jobs\continuous\ProcessingEngine\App_Data)

3. Identity Server

3.1) Website* (~identity-webroot~\sitecoreruntime)

Note:

  • Point 2.4 and 3.1 applies to SC 9.1 instance.
  • For points 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 (if applicable), you will need to manually restart the associated Windows service afterwards.

Happy coding !!
