License check failure

Question

To whom it may concern,
It looks that my license is expired but based on the instructions to update my license I'm unable to get into the Visual Administrator to update. It kind a caught 22? How am I going to update the license key if I'm unable to log into the  Visual Administrator? Anyone has any suggestions? Is there another way to update the license key?

HI ,
To apply License on Java system following are the prereqs
Request the license on the SAP Service Marketplace (service.sap.com/support): Software Distribution Center ® License Key Request.
The licence team sends the license as a text file .
Use that to apply after starting the Java system as mentioned Below:
  In the Visual Administrator choose Server ® Services ® Licensing Adapter and browse the saved license file.
You require the specified data to order a new License Key.
