If you  want to move the Enterprise server to a new hardware, please act as follows:

 
Preparation at the old server

 

- Create a backup for every master database

- Check if the RSA key *.prvkey for the backup exists

- Make sure that you have the database password and the connection password

 

 

Copying the necessary files

 

Copy the following files from the old to the new server:

 

- The backups of your master databases (*.psx)

- The RSA keys for the databases for the decryption of the backups (*.prvkey)

- The license file (psr7.lic)

 

 

Installation on the new server

 

- Please notice that the Enterprise server as well as the clients need the same version. We suggest to update to the latest version during the removal.

- If it should not be possible to update the clients as well, use the accordant server version. You get the necessary download link via the support.

 

Activation

 

- Open the SDS console and select help -> license overview -> file -> open license file

- Select the license file which you have copied from the old computer

- In the license overview you can now find the old computer name. Click on it with your right mouse button and select deactivate

- Start the SDS console again

 

 

Configuration

Now the software should be configured. Please notice the following points here:

 

- If the setup assistant should not appear at the start, call it up via extras. Follow the assistant in order to achieve a basic configuration

 

 

Import of the data

 

- Create a new database

- Import the backup via the database assistant. For this it is necessary to name the storage location of the RSA key

- Start the server service

- If you should use the module network logon, create a new *.nlc file for the clients

 

 

Safety settings

 

- If you should want to use the high availability, create a new slave database at the accordant server

- Set up the backup time schedules

- Configure the task service (if needed)
