Failed to connect to database

jamiehollingsworth — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:30:10 GMT

So after updating my license file i now get this error when trying to access my database.
Failed to connect to database. No arcgis server license file found. contact your admin.

i have tried creating a geodatabase using all of my connection info and i get an Error.
Error connecting to database as geodatabase admin.

I can connect to the database outside of arcgis.

arcgis server 10.1.1
windows server 2012
IIS 8
postgresql 9.1

everything was working prior to updating of license file

any thoughts

so i fixed it

first i found this page
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/supportcenter/2012/08/09/how-to-get-an-authorization-file-or-keycodes-file-for-the-new-create-enterprise-geodatabase-tool-at-10-1/

but i was not getting the update arcgis license box

then i found this
http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/40597

i had to create a new connection with admin privileges.

problem solved
