Conditions

When reactivating a license in a regkey pool that requires a new EULA to be accepted, the EULA doesn't display.

Workaround

The pool license reactivation must be completed through the command line. 1. Determine the regkey pool ID: restcurl cm/device/licensing/pool/regkey/licenses/'?$select=name,id' 2. Save the EULA to a file restcurl cm/device/licensing/pool/regkey/licenses/{id from step 1}/offerings/{regkey}/'?$select=eulaText,status' > /var/tmp/eula.txt 4. Edit /var/tmp/eula.txt and, at the end of the file, change the status from "ACTIVATING_AUTOMATIC_NEED_EULA_ACCEPT" to "ACTIVATING_AUTOMATIC_EULA_ACCEPTED" 5. curl -X PATCH --upload-file /var/tmp/eula.txt http://localhost:8100/cm/device/licensing/pool/regkey/licenses/{id from step 1}/offerings/{regkey}

Fix Information

The EULA now properly displays and you can accept it.
