Dear experts,

I just installed the license keys for my Ignition servers. I found that my SQL DB connection is broken after the license activation.

Do I need a license for SQL DB connection?

Thanks.  
Lei

Not on the Ignition side.

Try deactivating your license and see if your SQL DB reconnects. (I doubt it has anything to do with your license.)
