In production environment, we have a SharePoint site with some Nintex 2007 workflows. Now we need to replicate the production site for testing purposes.
The target server already had Nintex installed when I restored the SharePoint backup.
Unfortunately, it turned out Nintex license has expired on it so we're a little paralyzed.
The workflows seem to have been moved with the backup, however some workflow steps in Nintex designer show exclamation marks with this tooltip:
queryListActivity1 of type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.QueryListActivity is unrecognized by Nintex Workflow
When I activate Nintex license, how can I ensure that Nintex workflow is deployed correctly? I see the following options:
- copy Nintex database to the new server and try hook it up with Nintex instance (how?);
- save existing workflows on source server using Nintex Export feature and upload them on target server.
What is the best one, or are there any other options available?

The preferred method is to export your workflow from the Developer License site and then import the workflow in your newly licensed site.
Once you have imported the workflow, simply save and publish.
