LMS Backup issue (related with re-install HUM)

vergeerf · ‎01-04-2010

Since the HUM evaluation period expired, I want to reinstall HUM 1.2 (LMS 3.2) because my customer didn't had enough time for evaluation.

I order to do this, I have uninstalled the HUM 1.2 and reinstalled HUM. However, during the re-installation the mandatory automatic backup failed.

The backup.log file doesn't contain any errors (backup completed). A manual backup seems to work fine and the system is working properly.

What is causing this issue? or is there a way to skip the backup performed during LMS 3.2 (HUM only) installation.

thanks in advance for any help

What you want to do is not possible. You cannot reinstall the eval to extend the evaluation period. That would require installing HUM on a new server.

we have purchased a (promo) HUM license now, but it doesn't include the media. How to get a copy of the HUM software

Since I can't use the originally shipped HUM evaluation copy (installation fails on the backup as described in my original post)

Run the installer with the nobackup argument. That is:

setup.exe nobackup
