RE: [Xen-API] XCP and XenCenter License Expiration Annoyance
Just overwrite the XCP xapi version as outlined in the documentation/XCP
website and apply a free XenServer license to XCP (from XenCenter). Everything
will be ok after that and no functionality will be lost even if the license is
for a free XenServer.

Subject: [Xen-API] XCP and XenCenter License Expiration Annoyance
A few months ago Rob Hoe (citrix) posted this response to the list:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should ignore whatever XenCenter says about licenses when using it for XCP.
The expiry date has no effect, is not enforced and won't cause any harm to your
VMs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although it's true that the expiry date has no effect on VM functionality it
makes XenCenter almost unusable given the constant expiration pop up
notifications. Does anyone know if there's anyway to stop those messages?
At this point there just are no viable alternatives to using XenCenter to
manage an XCP based pool. At the OpenStack conference last week I saw (in the
Quantum talk) that RackSpace is using XenCenter to help them manage their Xen
based cloud. But, I suspect they're running Xen 5.6 free vs.
XCP 1.0 since I didn't see any license expirations warnings pop up in the demo.
