No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,

Expected Behavior

When starting openwebui with l.data file for license, the user interface should display the color, logo

Actual Behavior

We have a log message

License: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and '[datetime.date](http://datetime.date/)'", "caller": "open_webui.utils.auth:get_license_data:152

Steps to Reproduce

Just upgrade openwebui and load l.data

Logs & Screenshots

no logo

License: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'datetime.date'", "caller": "open_webui.utils.auth:get_license_data:152

Additional Information

initial code in backend\open_webui\utils\auth.py

 if not data.get('exp') **and** data.get('exp') < datetime.now().date():

new code perhaps linked to the error

if not data.get('exp') **or** data.get('exp') < datetime.now().date():

Root Cause Analysis

The issue is at backend/open_webui/utils/auth.py line 148:

if not data.get('exp') or data.get('exp') < datetime.now().date():

Problem: data.get('exp') returns a string from JSON parsing, but datetime.now().date() returns a datetime.date object. Python cannot compare str < datetime.date.

Fix

Convert exp to date before comparison:

from datetime import datetime

# Line 148
exp_date = data.get('exp')
if isinstance(exp_date, str):
    exp_date = datetime.strptime(exp_date, '%Y-%m-%d').date()

if not exp_date or exp_date < datetime.now().date():
    return False

Or if the format varies:

exp_date = data.get('exp')
if exp_date:
    if isinstance(exp_date, str):
        try:
            exp_date = datetime.fromisoformat(exp_date).date()
        except ValueError:
            exp_date = datetime.strptime(exp_date, '%Y-%m-%d').date()
    
    if exp_date < datetime.now().date():
        return False

Impact: License validation fails for all users with l.data files in v0.8.11.

Workaround: Users can downgrade to v0.8.10 until this is fixed.

UPDATE: I've submitted PR #23104 targeting the dev branch with proper CLA confirmation. This should fix the license validation issue for all affected users.

Thanks
Baddly we begun to migrate from 0.7.2 to 0.8.11 with the huge database migration that was blocked in the 0.8.10 that's why we were waiting for the integration of the patch for historic table migration.
Here we are in the middle need to be on 0.8.11 for database patch and on 0.8.10 for the license.
I hope there will be soon a new release for the license patch so we can restore access.

@yang1002378395-cmyk I've seen you in the last couple of days attempting to submit PRs dozens of times and failing each time. Please stop the PR spam. You don't even read the PR description and therefore all your PRs get insta-closed. Please stop the slop spam or risk getting blocked
