How to use command line to add SAP CMC licence key


I tried to replace the SAP CMC license key, but after I deleted the old key, I can't open the CMC anymore. IE shows "This page can't be displayed". CMC can't be opened may be because there is no license key in CMC. But I want to add the license key back.

Not sure if I can ask an SAP question on Stack Overflow. But I can't contact SAP support currently. Much appreciated if any one can give me a hint about how to add CMC license by command line or other methods.

Below is the location where I found the license key and deleted it.

  • Deleted or expired license key will disable WACS Server.

      1a. Windows version:
