If a backup cannot be made, a special license file (a license file for installation with the expiration date carried over from the
current counter value) is required to reinstall the MEAP application. This special license file is treated as a service tool and cannot
be obtained by a general user.
In order to obtain a special license file, a service technician needs to contact a person in charge of support of a sales company.
When contacting the person in charge of support, the service technician also needs to provide the serial number of the device
and the name of the MEAP application installed.

identify the serial number of the device in question.
