Q: Does reinstalling FCS wipe out configuration?

Clicked on update License and now it is telling me that my FCS 1.1 license is not valid, and that my FCS 1.5 upgrade license is not qualified and now FCS is down. Thinking that reinstalling 1.1 and then upgrading to 1.5.2 would solve problem but am concerned that my configurations will be lost.

    Get "FCS Remover" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) for free.  Use it to uninstall FCSvr totally before doing a reinstall.  Otherwise you'll have major problems.

     

    Be sure to backup the database FIRST (in the Systems Preferences window), after reinstalling, the first thing you need to do is recover that backed up database file.  You should be good to go.

     

    But, with a discontinued product, we're all fliping coins as to stability/bug issues.
