XF 2.1 [Resolved] License expired, tried upgrading without success

[pothi]

Hello,

We had our forum with version 1.x. Our license expired a few days back. We had downloaded the latest version (2.x) before license expiration. We tried to upgrade from version 1.x to 2.x . It went through until we received the following message...

The following issues should be resolved. Once they have been resolved, check for upgrades again to confirm.

• Your license has now expired. You will not have access to new versions or support. To continue to get the latest updates and receive support, you should renew now.

Now, the frontend is okay. However, we can't do anything in the backend / dashboard / admin side. We don't want to renew the license immediately. What can we do to get past the above message?

Thanks.

My privilege as "Super Admin" was revoked right after the upgrade automatically by XenForo.

I put myself as "Super Admin" as mentioned at https://xenforo.com/community/threads/140248/ . This resolved the issue.
