Very annoying license issue

In order to secure my configuration I have made multiple copies of the lsws folder. Now when I want to restart the server, I get this:

[WARNING] Server signature does not match the license key #2.
Please request a new license key!
[ERROR] Failed to start lshttpd!

when I try .../lsws/bin/lshttpd -r

as was counseled by Litespeed staff, it gives me:

2008-02-01 20:18:35.249 [ERROR] [LICENSE] License key operation failure: ERR E.4: The maximum number of server(s) can be installed with this serial number has been reached. If you want to migrate a license used on another server, please consult the product manual regarding how to transfer a license. count=1

This is the second time I have it, and I really has had an impact as I am again hanging in the air. I am seriously thinking of ditching Litespeed now.

Sorry for the inconvience, you should be able to fix it in a few seconds by following our standard license migration procedure.

When ever it happens, please try

lsws/bin/lshttpd -m
lsws/bin/lshttpd -r

Please make sure the old license key lsws/conf/license.key is there, if it has been renamed to license.key.bad, change it back before execute "lsws/bin/lshttpd -m".

I wonder why the license key has become invalid, is that a VPS? Or solaris container? usually, moving LSWS to another folder will not affect the license key.

That worked, many thanks. There wasn't any speciality, it's on a normal linux config, with normal permissions. I don't get it, the license was updated automatically and used to work, and was still valid.

Yes, that's what I had to do. I will be confronted with this situation again, e.g. when migrating to another machine. Can you please tell me where to find the manual for this ? Many thanks.
