Backup and restore LMS 3.1

[luisalviarez]

We have cisco works LMS 3.1  and the server have very problems, we need format the server and reinstall the Cisco Works, when I doin backup and restore of data LMS We lost the licenses? or when we restore the data in the server we have the same licenses? or get the new licenses to cisco?

You'll have the same licenses, because the LMS backup saves them and the restorebackup script will restore them into a fresh LMS install.

To be on a safer side, keep a backup of NMSROOT/etc/licenses directory where ciscoworks keep the licenses.

Also, LMS 3.1 is pretty old, hence i would recommend to install LMS 3.2 if you are planning for fresh install LMs 3.2 requires the same license and the LMS 3.1 data can be migrated from backup.

If you dont have the data, I would recommend a clean install for LMS 3.2 and not an upgrade. without looking at the error, it is hard to tell if it is an cosmetic one or imapcting.

LMS 3.1 is anyways EOS/EOL soon. Follow these tips for windows:
