Unable to start HiveMQ Enterprise Edition

Hi Team,

I have downloaded the HiveMQ Enterprise Edition 4.7.1 and trying to run. Getting the below error.

Hi @vgkkonda,

The problem is that the EE version (4.7.1) tries to load the data of the CE version and that is not possible (as I see you run 4.7.1 in hivemq-ce-2021.2 folder).

Delete (or backup) the content of the data folder and the problem should be gone.

Greetings,
Michael from the HiveMQ team

Thank you @michael_w .
Not sure why it was pointing to CE edition folder. I added HIVEMQ_HOME environment variable and will change it accordingly when I want to switch between CC and EE.

Thanks for your support.

Hi @michael_w
I think the logic in run.bat to find out the HiveMQ folder is having issue.
If there are multiple edition of HiveMQ in your machine then it picks whichever it finds the first one if there is HIVEMQ_HOME environmental variable is set.

I think the logic in run.bat needs to be changed, correct me if I am wrong?

Thanks & Regards,
