<div class="markdown_content"><p>One more question on this:</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong? I have activated a new license on a device, which has NEVER seen a runtime &lt; 4.8.0.0.<br/> This worked flawlessly with the license key provided.</p> <p>I now tried to reactivate the license from a backed up license file (file extension "WibuCmRaU") and I get this error:<br/> [-img src=codesys license error.PNG width=50%: missing =-]<br/> This time it is a Raspi 3B with a SL (non MC) license for development.</p> <p>Has anyone tried to restore a license the same way it did work on a pre 4.1.0.0 system (I did this hundred times before) on a 4.8.0.0 system successfully?!</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I will answer my own question: It is not possible to simply copy the files from cmact_licenses to the .cmact_licenses folder.</p> <p>Restoring the license must be done by the license manager within CodeSys.</p> <p>So the initial question remains: How can one restore a backed up license in runtime version 4.8.0.0?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi there!</p> <p>I recently upgraded my device from runtime 4.0.1.0 (raspberry, armhf) to armhf 4.8.0.0 (raspberry, armhf).</p> <p>I now wanted to restore my license file (CMLicenseNew.WibuCmRaU) which I saved from the same device under runtime 4.0.1.0.</p> <p>This appearently does not work anymore. I saw the device now has TWO SoftContainers. I tried both and get the same error.</p> <p>This are the SoftContainers now:</p> <p><img src="./attachment/TwoSoftContainers.PNG" width="50%"/></p> <p>On either SoftContainer I get the same error and no licenses show up within the SoftContainer like the earlier did after restoring the license.</p> <p>This is the error:</p></div>
