Hello Baseer,

I am only familiar with 1.5 XMLUI, so I am not sure if it works the same way in 
the JSP interface. But this is how it works in the XMLUI:

When you change the license, it is not retroactive; this means, it only changes 
for the items you add after you change the license.

As far as I know, you can not change all the old licenses at once; you must do 
it one at a time.

To change the license on older items, you must:

- Go to the item that has a license you want to change
- Click "Edit This Item"
- Click the Item Bitstreams tab
- Upload a New Bitstream
- Then you add the new license txt file

You're not quite done:
- After you've uploaded the new txt file, click on it
- Where it says Primary Bitstream, select Yes

Then you can delete the old license bitstream from that item.

It has been mentioned before to be careful when changing license agreements, 
since someone previously did agree to that old license.

Hello ,
I have a question regarding the license ,
We have a edit few things in our existing license , is it possible that we 
could change it on Dspace server so that the changes appear on the older posts 
too .
If not how and where  can we edit the default license .

Thank  you ,
Baseer
