Hi Tara,

If the item in DSpace has never had a CC license attached to it, you can't set 
a licence via the web interface (at least not via the XMLUI). This is because 
the license information is stored in the "CC-LICENSE" bundle which won't exist 
for the item.

To set the license you could either delete the item and resubmit (but this 
would generate a new handle) or you could use a command line utility to set the 
license for you.

I have written a piece of Java code which sets the CC license on an item and 
you can see it at:

You would need a developer in your organisation to build the code and run it 
for you at the command line.

Example usage:

java CCLicenseSetter [email protected] 123456789/46 
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ 
"Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported" 

Hope that helps.

Gareth
