I just finished  authorizing my sever licence and went on to update the ArcSDE enterprise geodatabase license, when i try to upload the ECP file that was generated i get the warning that it is an "Invalid authorization file".

Here are the steps i followed

log on to the machine running AGS

Use the Software Authorization tool to authorize my sever using the provsioning file (prvc)

Navigate to the ESRI\License10.4\sysgen folder

copy and rename the keycodes file with the ECP extension

copy the ECP file to my desktop

connect to the database using my established admin connection

upload the ECP

and get the "Invalid authorization file"

i even tried restarting my server.

and here is what is authorized by my prvc file

arcsdeserver
svrenterprise
arcgisserver
schematicssvr
capacitysvr_4
svradvanced
3dserver
spatialserver
networkserver
imageextserver
interopserver
jtxserver
geostatserver
highwayssvr
datareviewersvr
geoeventsvr
portal_50

any

thoughts?

Are you able to open ArcGIS Server Manager? Then check the license details under

Site > Software Authorization

Interesting.

it says the software has not been updated, Expiration Date is still Oct 29, 2016 so was my authorization file not good?

In that case, rename/delete the keycode file in Esri Folder.

Then authorize ArcGIS Server again by Offline method (Authorize at Esri's Website or by email to receive your authorization file). Use the ECP file to authorize ArcGIS Server and for updating your enterprise GDB.

If the issue persists, you might need to check for valid license keycodes (The keycodes in the PRVC file would have expired.)
