Resolution

Install the product again into the existing directory using the license key from the Download Center/ESD website as per How to locate the Serial Number and IPE / License Key on Download Center or ESD

NOTE: Before making any changes, stop all applications that are using the ODBC driver. Once the license is updated start all applications using the driver to ensure the updated license is picked up.

7.1:

Install an evaluation version of the Connect/Connect64 for ODBC drivers as per How to install an evaluation copy of Connect/Connect64 for ODBC drivers?
Back up the old IVODBC.LIC/DDODBC.LIC license file from the evaluation installation directory. (On Windows, license file is located in <ODBC_INSTALL_DIR>/Drivers and on Unix, license file is located in <ODBC_INSTALL_DIR>)
Replace this file with the new IVODBC.LIC/DDODC.LIC license file that has the subscription end date from the Download Center/ESD website as per Where to find the License file for Connect subscription based license?

NOTE: The subscription license file can be obtained by contacting Sales/COM, if it is not available on the Download Center/ESD website.

Workaround

Alternate option for upgrading the 8.0 subscription license on Unix/Linux:

Make a backup of the existing installation just in case of issues.
Run the installer using an appropriate license key (control# or IPE Key) and install into a temporary directory (not the existing evaluation installation)
Copy the license file (IVODBC.LIC for 32-bit or DDODBC.LIC for 64-bit) from the new, temporary installation, to replace the existing evaluation/subscription installation's license file
Make sure the permissions match up for the old and new license files.
Delete the temporary installation and backup of the original installation.
