WCS gone into "LITE" mode ?! !

hi,
My WCS version 4.087 (yes i know its time to upgrade ;) ) has gone into "LITE" mode, and even on my server via the ie browser i cant get into the full version, sure im logged in as 'admin' as normal but cant get anything other than basic viewing options.
why would this happen ? i thought due to my version i may not need to update a licence key the last licence file was 01/02/2007 so is it a year to expiry for the WCS licences ?
any help is much appreciated.
i can take this oppertunity to upgrade but by uninstalling the WCS software will i lose the maps, ap positions ?
just before it went wrong i backed up the WCS data.
if i wanted to upgrade is it just a case of uninstalling the old software, reinstalling the new and loading the old backup ?
cheers
yours (baffled)

not sure i can help with your "lite" problem here but i'll try to address the other questions here...
1. No, there shouldn't be a time related to the WCS license and therefore no such expiration issues.
2. If you upgrade and follow the recommended upgrade path (one step at a time, from one version to the next), you should be able to keep all your maps and such. Just don't jump from 4.0 to 5.0 and follow the upgrade suggestions in the release note.
3. Making backups is good! Starting recently, you don't even have to restore the backup manually. As the upgrade happens, WCS will automatically restore the old backup (but note this a relatively new feature). again, release notes should be able to guide you for an upgrade path.
Also, i'm sure you've checked, but the "admin" user is a part of the superusers group, right?
This is strange...

  • I really need emergency iphone help- please- it has gone into restoration mode and wont come out unless i click restore- if i do will i loose all my photos and videos etc? please help!!!

    i recently plugged my iphone4 into my laptop to sync, when i plugged it in, itunes told me that i needed to update my software, so i clicked up date and walked awayfrom my computer leaving it to do the rest, but by the time i came back to my laptop 2-3 hours later i had realized that it has run out of charge and because of it my phone had gone into retoration mode- and the only way to fix it was to press restore. what do i do? do i click restore or will that take my phone back to factory settings as i have a tonne of photos and videos etc that i have not backed up yet?
    what should i do anny coments or ideas please let me know!

    The first step in the upgrade process is a backup.
    Did iTunes not create a new backup when you first connected it?
    You really should be syncing your device and copying pictures off of it on a regular basis.
    Starting an upgrade without first syncing and copying the pictures off is not a bright idea.
    At this point, you only option is to restore.
    Also, in the future, ensure your laptop is plugged into external power before starting upgrades.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • My iphone 3Gs has gone into recovery mode after updating via itunes..help..

    I plugged my iphone 3gs into itunes yesterday and it started to update the software - presumabley to 10.5? - came back to it an hour later and it was displaying an image of a usb cable and itunes symbol which i now undertand means its gone into recovery mode.
    I tried to restore it to the factory settings as advised but it won't work. Its telling me "This device could not be restored, it is not eligible for the requested build"
    Please help - this phone is not jailbroken!

    Ok, after 2 nights searching forums and trying different things I have managed to find a solution. I had to add a '# ' at the begining of the host directory.  This means nothing to me and I had to follow the steps in the following link but it worked perfectly -

  • In updating to most recent ios, iPad says its gone into recovery mode - any ideas?

    When updating to the most recent iOS, my iPad says its gone into recovery mode and the only option i have is to restore to factory settings - any ideas?

    The message means what it says. Unfortunately something went wrong and you will have to restore your iPad now. If you have a backup, you can restore from the backup after you restore the iPad to factory settings. If you have no backup, you have to start all over again.
    You can download much of your purchased content again in the purchased tabs of iTunes or the app stores or if you sync with iTunes ( if you sync with iTunes you should have some sort of backup) you can sync your content back to the iPad.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

    Help...I did an update without backing up and my phone has now gone into recovery mode. Is there any way to revive it without losing data???
    Please help

    If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost all data on the phone. You have no choice but to connect it to iTunes and restore it, either from your most recent backup or as a new device.
