Community Edition Issue renewing free license

[aleiva (Alejandro Leiva)]

@ovi, yes, looks like I have the UiPathPlatform.msi in my Downloads folder so I probably installed that one before installing the Community Edition.

Hi, I’m having the same issue with my renewal. I clicked on the link to renew my license and I was told to restart my CE. However, the issue still persists after I’ve restarted my UiPath CE. Is there a limit to the number of times CE can be renewed?

@ovi, I am also facing the same issue. I have tried to renew using the link, it says renewed but issue still persist. Below is my device Id, can you please help.

Activation failed with error: 0
Error description: No Error
License status: Server License Expired

Device ID: vzZGuwzsbGhejfmnabeY
Computer: xxxxxx
User Name: xxxxxxx

[ovi (Viorela Preda)]

Ok, give me some time to check the Device ID.

In the meantime, you’ve always used the Start free option when first activating Studio?

[ailas2030 (Avi)]

Yes, I have used Start free option.

HI ovi, I also have this exact problem. My device Id is y+VZiReqzfWuO4ukFra5.

I have completed the “Continue using UiPath Community Edition” request form 2-3 times but always when I try starting Studio, I get the error shown above. (Activation Failed etc)

I have tried requesting a new Community Edition Download (just to try) but have not received the email with it.

Regards, Dave

hi am also facing same issue.

Please fill the details after opening the below link and it should renew after 24 to 48 hours as someone need to update at some UiPath servers. Don’t forget to provide correct Device ID.

By “same issue” you mean “SOAP client has invalid date”? If you search this error on the forum you will find out that you need to update your system’s date.

[ovi (Viorela Preda)]

Hi! Check this one:

@ovi

!!! You cannot go back to Community Edition after activating a license key on a machine. It contravenes with CE terms and conditions. After you have once activated a device with a license code in the past you cannot use the free edition on the same device. After code activation, the device ID remains registered in the system and it does not allow you to go back and activate CE.

In special situations where the above should be approved (going to Community after using a trial or license key) you will need to reach out to support and give details on your request and also provide the device ID of the machine. If the request is approved, support will release the device ID from the system and it will be possible to activate CE.
