Licensing on Azure WebApp

Actual situation:
- Community UD on Azure WebApp -> OK

Hello Everyone !

I’m just get a license.txt to migrate my old community UD on Azure but i couldn’t get it correctly…

In my case, I tried:
1. Download in local machine UniversalDashboard 2.9.0 (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/UniversalDashboard/2.9.0)

2. Copy files from “C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\UniversalDashboard\2.9.0” to wwwroot\ of Azure WebApp (https://docs.universaldashboard.io/webserver/running-dashboards/azure#manually-creating-an-azure-webapp)

3.1 Upload license.txt into the folder (doesn’t work)

3.2 Upload license.txt into the folder and adding “$Env:UDLICENSE = (Get-Content .\license.txt -raw)” on dashboard.ps1 (doesn’t work)

3.3 Change license.txt -> license.lic and upload into the subfolder \net472 (doesn’t work)

3.4 Change license.txt -> license.lic and upload into the subfolder \net472 and adding “$Env:UDLICENSE = (Get-Content .\net472\license.lic)” on dashboard.ps1 (doesn’t work)

What could i tried???

I see on other threat this:

Adding the License

also, and just fyi if you name it license.lic and put it in the net47X folder of your universaldashboard module folder, it does the same thing. You’d do it that way for say Azure or IIS implementations.

but doesn’t work for me

I use Set-UDLicense -License ‘PASTE LIC FROM FILE’ in my dashboard.ps1 file and works like a charm in both Azure Web App and Docker Container.

ops, it doesn’t work…
license.lic file has this content:
<License><Terms>xxxxxx</Terms><Signature>zzzzz</Signature></License>
Right?
And user-email for what?

• I added Set-UDLicense -License ./license.lic on Dashboard.ps1 and no more.
• Module version of UD is 2.9.0, it’s okey?

I change UD version to 2.8.3, and now it’s charging the website but license is not working on it:

Update:

@adam @psDevUK

How it that possible?
{“Message”:“A server license is required to run Universal Dashboard for more than an hour.”}

I’d suggest just setting an environment variable for your Azure WebApp. If you add a UDLICENSE environment variable and then enter your license, UD should pick that up. It’s what I do for poshud.com.

Sorry fella never used Azure so not a scooby-doo. If it’s the same as IIS have you copied your license file to the net472 folder …on iPhone but believe that’s the folder
