* Launch the QLM Management Console
* Go to the Manage Keys tab
* Click Sites and make sure your License Server is selected
* Go to the Files and Folders tab
* Locate the **Searches File** field and note the path of the file.

* Go to the QLM installation folder, typically C:\Program Files\Soraco\QuickLicenseMgr
* Locate the file queries.xml

* Launch the QLM Management Console
* Your searches should now be restored.
