No valid license found

You are right. The server is unable to find a licensekey.dat.
Make sure that the server's shell user can access (read) the licensekey.dat and use the correct licensepath.

[ishizu]

Please, can you tell me how I can do this?

[SilentStorm]

IN other words: As what User are you logged in to your server when you start TS3 Server and how do you do it?

[ishizu]

I'm Serveradmin at TS3 and my Server. I take the programm WinSCP an Putty to start the TS3 etc. and I use there my own server

[eckart]

Please show us the output from 'ls -la' and 'cat licensekey.dat' (without the key )
I think there is the everytime possible transfer error between windows and linux text files.

cat licensekey.dat:

only the licensekey ( ... ucHJ ... )

[eckart]

First: Don't start the TS3 server as root.
Second: Normaly the licensekey.dat contains data like this:

Company name : <Your real name>
address      : <street>
zipcode      : <zipcode>
city         : <city>
country      : <country>
phone        : <phone>
fax          : <fax>
sales contact: <contactmail>
tech contact : <contactmail>

type         : Nonprofit
start date   : Fri Jun  1 00:00:00 2012
end date     : Tue Dec  4 00:00:00 2012
max. virtual servers: 10
max. slots   : 512
description  : TeamSpeak 3 Non-Profit License (<url>)

==key==
<and here stands the key>
...

Maybe the "==key==" entry is missing in the dat file.
Please check your mal from teamspeak sales (which contains the licensekey.dat).
If the mail doesn't contains these data, rerequest the licensekey.dat (dont know if this possible).
If the mail contains the data, reupload the licensekey.dat to your server.

[ishizu]

But my licensekey.dat haven't got this details about my registration. There is just this long key...

[SilentStorm]

Do the following:

chown ts:ts licensekey.dat
su ts
cd /path/to/your/Server/Folder
./ts3server_startscript.sh start

If it still doesn't work try to request a new copy of your license and upload that to the server folder, then do the above again.

If it still doesn't work and if the File send to you after that still doesn't contain the information it might have been removed entirely... I don't know.

[ishizu]

The code did not work :/ i ty the other one

Is it normal, that i have this after i use "su ts" ?

\[\033[01;31m\]\u\[\033[01;33m\]@\[\033[01;36m\]\h \[\033[01;33m\]\w \[\033[01;35m\]$ \[\033[00m\]

pls check your pm - I send you a question

[eckart]

yes and no

yes, beacause these are normal control codes to colors the [email protected]# promt.
No, because normaly you dont see the control code

Guys,
the license file is broken, when it does not look like my example!

The server will never acceppt a file without these details and the license will never look like there is a key included only.
It always provides details about the registration.

[ishizu]

You haven't read your PMs ... so I ask here.

The command

chown ts:ts licensekey.dat
su ts

in which path I should use it? Cause the next step is 'cd /path/to/my/ts'

Also the command 'chown ts:ts licensekey.dat' - how does it work?

chown = change owner
ts: = owner
:ts = folder

but why also licensekey.dat?

And, if I use it in /home/ - or should I use it in <root>? - there is no folder due to putty.

The path to my teamspeak-folder is: /home/ts3/ts/licensekey.dat
So should i say: 'chown ts:ts licensekey.dat' in my home/ts-folder or not?

And why I go to my ts-folder again after the su-command? Cause I'm still in this folder to use the chown-command or I'm not?

[dante696]

The licensekey belongs into the root folder of your teamspeak server.

But my licensekey.dat haven't got this details about my registration. There is just this long key...

And I repeat your license file is broken and even when you move that file, it won't work!

You have to request resend that license file!

I did read and already replied to your PM yesterday (or the day before that dunno).

For chown and it's parameter and usage see man chown which will tell you that the first ts is the user the second ts is the group.
for your case the commands would be:

chown ts:ts /home/ts/ts3/licensekey.dat
su ts
cd ~/ts3
./ts3server_startscript.sh start
