what is the content of productid.js? is it needed for registration to continue working across reboots? What are the consequences if this is not persisted? Things that are persistent should *not* be kept in /var/ in general. Also, you say it "can't be persisted". Do you mean that it's not being persisted and should be? Or do you mean that you tried to persist and the persist command failed?
