A factory reset via the console port will remove the licenses.

Thank you

Actually, even though the license key would be removed with factory default, you CAN still use that license key again after the system is rebuilt. Just copy the license key before before the reset.
As long as the IP address and MAC remain the same, the license key should still work.

How can I restore licenses if I didn't think about saving the file before resetting?

This means if you do a factory reset, you will loose the license? When yo able to login how to read out that license? If I copy that license file after the factory reset will it still works despite different IP address might be used?

Unfortunately, wasn't able to see any installation docs.
