Hi @team, I'm trying to use burp suite professional trail version through cli and using "java -Xmx1G -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath burpsuite_pro.jar burp.StartBurp --unpause-spider-and-scanner --project-file=C:\Users\Downloads\api_scan_project.burp --config-file=C:\Users\Downloads\config.json --use-defaults " command to run a scan through cli an pop-up is Generated to enter the product key and when I paste the key issued by burp suite professional getting error as "The supplied license key was not recognized. Please try re-entering your license key"

Hi Suraj, Are you able to clarify what happens when you attempt to launch Burp using the commands detailed on the page below: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/troubleshooting/launch-from-command-line In addition to the above, what version of Java are you using to run Burp in this manner?

using java 22.0.1

Hi Suraj, If you use Java 21 in conjunction with the commands noted in the link I provided earlier does this allow you to launch Burp via the command line?

No, asking for product key, and when I add the key provided for trial version its not accepting but when I use it with UI its accepting the key

Hi Suraj, Can you confirm the updated command you are now attempting to run when you see this behaviour?
