The "Export LDS" action lets you create a manual backup of the LDS. The content of the License Data Store is saved as a zip archive file during this process.
You can use an exported LDS archive as a backup or to send the LDS data to a new server if you should change the License Server platform. Moreover, if you encounter licensing errors, you can send the exported LDS archive to the Heidelberg Service team for analysis.
Select the "Export LDS" option in the "Select your action" window and click "Next". A password query first displays if a password is set for your License Manager (see the Password). Enter your password and click "Next".
After that, the "Export LDS" window displays:
In the top part of the window, you can find information about the LSN (see the Display of the LSN xxxxx), the computer name or IP address of the License Server that is connected to the License Manager and about the LDS status.
You must now define a folder in the system environment of the computer on which the License Manager will run. The LDS archive will be saved to this folder. To do so, click "Browse". In the selection dialog, go to the folder where the file will be stored and enter a file name for the archive file. Then click "Open".
The path to the exported archive file now displays in "Selected export file".
Now click "Export".
Note: To export to another computer via the network, the License Server Service must have an account for the computer concerned.
You return to the "License Overview" after the export.
