Disadvantages

The disadvantages of migrating trusted storage with data preservation include the following. (See Pre-Migration Tasks for details.)

•

This type of migration requires an online connection between the back office and the LLS to allow synchronization from the back office.

•

The migration works only with FlexNet Operations Cloud as the back office. It does not work with FlexNet Operations On-Premises.

•

Modifications to the SA configuration are required to enable synchronization—either online or offline—to the back office if one or the other is not already enabled.

•

Modifications to the LLS configuration are required both to enable a new timestamp-compatibility policy for synchronization and to enable synchronization from the back office if it is not already enabled.
