Enregistrer une base de données

To register your database, enter your subscription code in the banner in the app dashboard. If the registration is successful, the banner will turn green and display the database expiration date.

Astuce

The expiration date is also displayed at the bottom of the Settings page.

Dupliquer une base de données

Duplicate a database by accessing the database manager on your server (<odoo-server>/web/database/manager). Typically, you want to duplicate your production database into a neutralized testing database. It can be done by checking the neutralize box when prompted, which executes all neutralize.sql scripts for every installed module.

Common error messages and solutions

Registration error

In case of a registration error, the following message should be displayed.

Database registration error message

To resolve the issue:

  • Check the validity of your Odoo Enterprise subscription by verifying if your subscription details have the tag In Progress on your Odoo Account or contact your Account Manager.

  • Ensure that no other database is linked to the subscription code, as only one database can be linked per subscription.

    Astuce

    If a test or a development database is needed, you can duplicate a database.

  • Verify that no databases share the same UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) by opening your Odoo Contract. If two or more databases share the same UUID, their name will be displayed.

    Database UUID error message

    If that is the case, manually change the database(s) UUID or send a support ticket.

  • As the update notification must be able to reach Odoo’s subscription validation servers, ensure your network and firewall settings allow the Odoo server to open outgoing connections towards:

    • Odoo 18.0 and above: services.odoo.com on port 80

    • Odoo 17.0 and below: services.openerp.com on port 80

    These ports must be kept open even after registering a database, as the update notification runs once a week.

Too many users error

If you have more users in a local database than provisioned in your Odoo Enterprise subscription, the following message should be displayed.

Too many users on a database error message

When the message appears, you have 30 days to act before the database expires. The countdown is updated every day.

To resolve the issue, either:

  • Add more users to your subscription by clicking the Upgrade your subscription link displayed in the message to validate the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.

  • Deactivate users and reject the upsell quotation.

Important

If you are on a monthly subscription plan, the database will automatically update to reflect the added user(s). If you are on a yearly or multi-year plan, an expiration banner will appear in the database. You can create the upsell quotation by clicking the banner to update the subscription or send a support ticket to resolve the issue.

Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message disappears automatically after a few days, when the next verification occurs.

Database expired error

If your database expires before you renew your subscription, the following message should be displayed.

Message d'erreur de la base de données expirée

This message appears if you fail to act before the end of the 30-day countdown.

To resolve the issue, either:

  • Click the Renew your subscription link displayed in the message and complete the process. If you pay by wire transfer, your subscription will be renewed when the payment arrives which can take a few days. Credit card payments are processed immediately.

  • Send a support ticket.
