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?

Suraj | Last updated: Jun 25, 2024 12:58PM UTC

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
