Free TS3 Server 32 slots Unable to open licensekey.dat

[DocCodeSharp]

Hello,

I brought up a little ts server to use for a small group of us and it was working fine for a good hour then it start not allowing anyone on. I am getting the following errors in the log:

Which I do not understand as I thought the 32 player limit was free.

I have tried to re-install and it still gave the same error. Any help would be great as i am stuck not understanding what the problem is.

Thank you

That's exactly what should happen when you have no license.
Please read the whole part about Accounting.

Where are you talking about Accounting? No words match in the LICENSE in the install files for the server and the website says it should be free.

https://teamspeak.com/en/features/licensing/

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thx

Please don't just read the one line where the license couldn't be found. There are more lines under which condition the server is running.

It's a 32 slot server you can use. That's the limitation when you have no license.

It's a warning, not an error.
The server is functioning as you intended, the limited capability is indeed the 32 slot limit.

For any server administrator running a server that should be using a licensekey, it's a warning to say that it's not found.
Anyone running the free server will read that line, and the next few which also display it's limitations.

It would be more use to us, to be able to find the cause of the issue by showing us the error people have when connecting to the server
