HANA tenant error – System locked; license is invalid or expired
On a HANA tenant database this error may occur:
“System locked; license is invalid or expired”
Tenant is locked although the SYSTEMDB has a valid license. Fortunately, a straightforward resolution exists to address this problem without the need for restarting either the SYSTEMDB or TENANT.
Execute SQL Command within the TENANT database:
UNSET SYSTEM LICENSE ALL
This command instructs the TENANT to remove its specific license key, allowing it to inherit the license key from the SYSTEMDB.
With this, the error message is resolved.
