Another Year of UniVerse

Once again I lost access to UniVerse due to the license expiring. I really need to deal with it. I do have ScarletDME but I'm not using that as my main Pick flavor yet.

This time I didn't even realize the licenses were expired, I thought something on my server was broken. I didn't notice how bad the UniVerse error messages are in regards to license failures.

Both starting and stopping UniVerse look the same it throws an error about contacting the admin. If I'm starting and stopping UniVerse then it's probably a good bet that I am the admin. To be fair the error does tell you to look at /usr/uv/uvsmm.log. There it does clearly outline that the issue is an expired license but I'd have liked to see the message directly instead of seeing a cyptic see administrator error.

I also had to reboot the server a few times as there was something strange going on and I'm sure there was some caching issue. I generated the auth codes and UniVerse was saying that it was authorized but when trying to start it up, it would complain about the license being expired.
