Transfer White Label License

Self-Hosted | v4/Legacy
1

Hello,

I just purchased the White Label license and want to know if I need to do anything to transfer it.

We are moving our Invoice Ninja installation from subdomain.domain-A.com to subdomain.domain-B.com.

Do I just install the license key, or is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks,
John

If you move the app database using the mysqldump then the license will be transferred with it.

3

We have already moved everything via JSON export / import.

Will adding the license key to the new installation break anything?

4

If you email us at contact@invoiceninja.com we can send you your license key.

The JSON transfer is designed for people switching to/from the hosted version, if you can use mysqldump it’s much better.

5

I still have the email with my license key, unless it has changed.

Will moving the installation break our Stripe installation/setup?

Will Stripe transactions fail coming from the new URL?

6

Great, then you should be able to reapply the license manually

If the domain has changed and you’re using Stripe webhooks you’ll need to update the endpoint

7

We are not using Stripe web hooks. No endpoints have been setup.

One last question: When we did the JSON export / import it looks like the client activity did not import. Would this have been done if we did the database dump and import?

9

Yes, using mysqldump includes all data/the JSON transfer does not

10

I did the database (MySQL) dump from the old location and imported it into the new location and we see several issues:

  • The company logos were absent (not really critical, we can re-install them)
  • We see "Whoops, looks like something went wrong when clicking on a client name in the clients tab.

Bump

Are there any details about the error in storage/logs/laravel-error.log

13

I found a bunch of these. I have changed the IP address to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn and the domain name to domain_name and the user info to first_name last_name:

[2020-05-18 18:52:34] production.ERROR: Illuminate\Contracts\Encryption\DecryptException [0] : /var/www/vhosts/domain_name.com/account.domain_name.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php [Line 195] => The MAC is invalid. {"context":"PHP","user_id":2,"account_id":2,"user_name":"first_name last_name","method":"GET","user_agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1 Safari/605.1.15","locale":"en","ip":"nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn","count":4,"is_console":"no","is_api":"no","db_server":"mysql","url":"clients/3"} []

14

Did you copy over the original .env file? This error can occur if the value of APP_KEY is changed.

15

No, I did not copy over the original .env file. I did not see that mentioned to do. I will try it again and copy the .env file.

16

Cool, that eliminated the Whoops, looks like something went wrong" error message but there is another issue: When I click on a client and then “View in Portal” I am re-directed to the old domain.

EDIT: I just reviewed the .env file and there is a line:

APP_URL=https://billing.domain_name.com

Could this be the issue?

17

Yes, it needs to be updated

18

Excellent! I have changed it and so far I cannot see any errors. Is there anything else you would recommend I look for, or change?

19

Not unless you see any problems…

So far so good.

I want to thank you for helping me out with this. I was hoping I could begin using the new domain for June and now it looks like I can.

Thanks again!
