vRSLCM – Replacing vRA key fails with “Failed to apply License key – LCMVRAVACONFIG590007”

The vRA evaluation license in my homelab had failed, and trying to log in, I was hitting a 402 error.

vRA license expired 402 error

When replacing the license using vRealize LifeCycle Manager, I received the below errors. This happens because the license key has already expired.

Error Code: LCMVRAVACONFIG590007
Failed to apply License key. Please check whether the license provided is correct and retry.
Failed to get vRA License Key.

LCMVRAVACONFIG590007 Failed to apply License key

The Fix

The fix for this is to re-apply the license using the vRA CLI directly on your vRA node. As per the below commands, and then re-inventory your vRA deployment in vRSLCM and finally Retrust with Identity Manager.

###### To check the current license ######

vracli license

###### To remove the license ######

vracli license remove {license key}

###### To add a new license ###### 

vracli license add {license key}

Below are the options to finalise the configuration in vRSLCM.
