All Backups fail with the error: "The backup has failed because LiteSpeed was unable to retrieve license information. Restores can still be performed"
The LiteSpeed console shows the correct information , the license key is correct and all the permissions are ok.
There are more than one production key in the ProductLicenses.xml (located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quest Software) file and Litespeed fails to work when this happens.
The ProductLicenses.xml file looks like the one below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<LicenseFile>
<Licenses>
<License ProductName="LiteSpeed for SQL Server" ProductVersion="6.5.2" KeySaveDate="40969.6804196065">
<LicenseKey>one old key here</LicenseKey>
<SiteMessage>site message here</SiteMessage>
</License>
<License ProductName="LiteSpeed for SQL Server" ProductVersion="7.1.0" KeySaveDate="41418.7272791088">
<LicenseKey>another key here</LicenseKey>
<SiteMessage>site mesage here</SiteMessage>
</License>
</Licenses>
</LicenseFile>
WORKAROUND
Please see the video below:Please remove the older key and leave only the newer one.
For instance the example above should be replaced by:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<LicenseFile>
<Licenses>
<License ProductName="LiteSpeed for SQL Server" ProductVersion="7.1.0" KeySaveDate="41418.7272791088">
<LicenseKey>another key here</LicenseKey>
<SiteMessage>site mesage here</SiteMessage>
</License>
</Licenses>
</LicenseFile>
STATUS
Waiting for fix in a future release of NetVault LiteSpeed for SQL Server
