performed after the BOD Export, data might get lost and the counters of the reagent cassettes
are not up to date anymore afterwards.
If development channels are active on the system, the dc.lic file needs to be
manually copied from the defective control unit if possible. If an access to drive C: is still
possible, browse to C:WINDOWS and copy the dc.lic file to an external media.
