How to upgrade LiteSpeed Web Server from free version to paid version
Upgrade from Standard Edition (free) to Enterprise Edition (paid) involves two steps:
- Order a license
- Download and install Enterprise Edition tarball to replace existing install.
Instructions:
- Go to LiteSpeed Store to order license. Go to this page to find out what license you need if you are not sure what to choose.
- Login to your server as root (via ssh or console)
- Download and install package
- Get the download link from LiteSpeed Web Server download page. Say, you choose “Linux (x86_64) 4.1.13 Ent” edition for your server (platform needs to be matched), copy the Download link next to it.
- Run below commands to download and install
cd /root wget http://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/4.0/lsws-4.1.13-ent-x86_64-linux.tar.gz tar zxf lsws-4.1.13-ent-x86_64-linux.tar.gz cd lsws-4.1.13 echo "xxx-xxx-xxx" > serial.no # where xxx-xxx-xxx is the license key string ./install.sh # Choose 'U' for upgrade when prompted and default for the rest.
