Adding Confluence license programatically

[Adam Wickes]

Hi all, 

I am looking at implementing auto scaling with our Confluence cluster however it looks like the license needs to be replaced every time a new node is spun up. 

Is it possible to set the license programmatically? via api or another method?

Thanks,
Adam

Just noting there are two versions of this question on Community - taking an answer over on the other copy at this link.

Hi @Adam Wickes , 

I think you can do it quite easily with modifying DB

This is for Jira. Is there a similar mechanism for Confluence?

[Adam Wickes]

Apologies, i just realised I asked this in the wrong place. I will close and ask under Confluence.

No problem I can move it :) 

For Confluence  you should be able to change it in the specific config file

It's weird because i've looked at the confluence.cfg.xml file in both nodes and they both contain the exact same license.message property. Yet one of the nodes complains about license and the other doesn't.
