https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Expired-license-in-dev-Cannot-access-settings-to-update/m-p/48187#M3769 Hi Amibarrett, Connecting directly to the DB resolved the issue. Thank you very much.

I have read the article 'How do I add a license key programmatically?' however I wanted to see if there was another method. If not is this Command method done on any dev resource PC or does it have to be done on the application server?

Updating the license file that way should push to the Application Server the next time it restarts.

Alternatively, you could open the client interface on the same box the application server is located, since that should already be connected to the DB directly.
