Error M61280 Warning LPS is currently running in Backup or Non-Production Mode

Problem

When opening Design32, a warning message displays indicating one of the 2 following;

1. M61280 Warning: LPS is currently running in Backup Mode.
   
   
   
2. M61280 Warning: LPS is currently running in Non-Production Mode.
   
   
   

Explanation

This warning appears when the LPS being used has a B in the license string, indicating that the current Loftware Print Server (LPS) license is a non-production or backup license.

PW- LPS[1000/10/10] [10] [10] [10/10] J[10] W[10/10] F[10]  S{MSNRBODXYG}00000000

This generally happens for one of the following reasons:

1. The seconary node of a Cluster configuration is used for the Loftware Print Server service
2. In a Disaster Recovery or High Availability fail over situation, and backup or non-production licensed LPS is being used

Solution

The Loftware Print Server is functioning normally on the backup or non-production instance

The solution is to determine why the Primary Node of a Cluster, or the Production LPS is not running. Correct the issue, the stop the LPS on the Cluster's Secondary Node, or the Backup or Non-Production LPS, and start the LPS on the Cluster's Primary Node or the Production LPS.
