kepserver migration

[BM_9155657]

Hello,

I am trying to migrate kepserver from a 2008 windows server to a newer version.  Is there any kind of article on how to do this?  

We currently have ~ 30 towers setup with 1 to 60 devices per tower so ideally we can migrate all the tower ip / device group / address in one action.

Also, not sure if this helps answer the question but we primarily use Fisher / Lufkin Modbus / EFM exporter.

Thanks for the help or any support links you think would be good for review.

 Hi,

Here are some helpful articles:

• "How to transfer a license for PTC Kepware Products": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS285278
• "Activate a License for PTC Kepware Product after Reinstalling/Upgrading the Operating System or Upgrading from V5 license": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs279499

P.S. "My Kepware Portal": https://my.kepware.com/mykepware/

Thanks, that will be helpful for license migration. Any idea on how to move the actual config? We have hundreds of devices on roughly 30 towers. I am trying to avoid manual configuration / coding against api to replicate the structure we currently have setup. Thanks.

Greetings,

The following KCS article includes the steps for migration including the licensing steps VladimirN mentioned AND how to save your entire KEPServerEX Configuration as a .opf project file for opening in another Server instance:
