Problems with PF-LTS License

[DG606]

We purchased a new Primeface license for our organization on september 5, 2025. I activated it for Primefaces 13 LTS yesterday on October 29, 2025. Unfortunately, the license key and passkey displayed do not work. When I use our previous key and passkey, which is valid until November 11, 2025, it works and no red banner is displayed.
We urgently need a solution as our production system will no longer be usable after November 11, 2025!

The new license key and passkey have been copied into web.xml and double-checked!

Version Primefaces 13.0.14-LTS was used!
Version JDK 21.0.7

At Log File we get an javax.crypto.AEADBadTagException

Could you please generate a new license key at PrimeUI Store and try again?

[DG606]

I have generated a new license key but it didn't work with the new key. Same error in log-file. (Passkey is same)

[DG606]

Tested with PF 13.0.14-LTS and PF 13.0.19-LTS
The old working License-Key which is valid until 11.11.25 has 133 signs but the both new ones have 137 signs. Maybe your Code-Generation has an incompatible change?

Thanks a lot for the update! We tried several combinations, but we still couldn’t replicate the issue. We’re currently investigating to find out the exact cause. Could you try running our sample Maven project) using your license key and pass key?

Same Error with Testproject with our LicenseKey and PF 13.0.14_LTS with mvn clean jetty:run -Pmojarra40
tested jvm jvm 21.0.7+8-LTS-245 and jvm 17.0.9+11-LTS-201

[DG606]

I have now tested on another windows11 machine with new downloaded jvm 21.0.9+7-LTS-338
web.xml is utf-8 and i have copied the license-key and passkey in web.xml and the params from website: https://showcase.primefaces.org/lts.xhtml?jfwid=b6053
But same error. The Error occurs also on our Linux Testsystem so it's not OS dependent.

Is it possible to get a "test-license" and passkey which works on your machine? To check it in testcase?

[cagataycivici]

Thanks, back to the drawing board, but we've finally managed to replicate the issue.

[cagataycivici]

We’ve updated the code generation at PrimeUI Store.

Could you please try generating a new license key?

[DG606]

I have generated a new license key and yes it worked. No Banner is displayed anymore.
Thanks for this Solution!
