How to force WebTrends to use standard http instead of SSL to connect to the licensing server

Products

WebTrends Analytics 9.x
WebTrends Analytics 8.x

Cause

The installation is unable to connect to the licensing server via SSL (https) but can connect via standard (insecure) http.


Resolution

Create an empty file named “noprodlicclientssl” in the following folder:

\WebTrends\common\lib

This will then force the product to use standard http instead of the secure protocol for all communications with the licensing server.
