Question I have no license for tomcat, can I remove it?

[mr-wolf]

After restoring a back-up I got the message

Execution of /opt/psa/admin/plib/api-cli/tomcat.php --update-service domain.com -status domadm -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1

I checked my license key and it is correct.... I don't have a license for that....
This is a rented server with Plesk included.

Isn't it taking unnecessary resources?
Why do I need a license key for tomcat?
Should I remove it?
How do I remove it?

If you don't need tomcat just try to uninstall it with the following command:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --remove-component java
# rpm -e tomcat-lib psa-tomcat-configurator tomcat-admin-webapps tomcat tomcat-webapps

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your answer.
But I don't dare to yet.

I'm having performance issues on a specific server and from time to time I see it taking resources in "top".
I don't understand as I would expect it to be disabled if no license key exists.

How can I be sure no-one relying on it?
As I wrote, my Plesks don't have a license and afaik they never had.
Does this alone make proof enough that it's not needed?

What makes this component so special that it needs an extra license?

Tomcat support is a part of paid Plesk Power Pack - Power Pack - Plesk or What do Plesk Feature Packs include?
