PTV xServer: license expire / network problem

Latest License update task:

Update PTV2 license to nightly and stable (https://app.clickup.com/t/86c70c0h5)

There is a file "/opt/xroute/xroute-x64-1.38.0.1/license.ptv" we need to replace this license with the new one.

on the current-old there is a part in the license where are defined ip addresses.

# NOTE: always end with no-net
hostList=172.31.0.86,192.168.1.100,192.168.31.194,172.31.1.53,172.31.0.104,no-net

If we don't have one of this in hostname -I server will not start.

I make script to fix-fake this check. I created script for every restart to add one of this ip's. For this script I created service for startup. xserver-ipadd.service

/opt/startup# cat startup_script.sh 
#!/bin/bash
# This is your startup script content
# Other commands you want to run
sudo ip addres add dev ens4 172.31.1.53

  3. Rename old license e.g. license-2023.ptv & License-2023.txt and name new license to license.ptv and text file to license.txt
