To transfer your AlwaysUp Windows Services to a new computer, please follow this 4-step process:<\/p>\n

1. Export your AlwaysUp Application(s) from your Existing Server<\/b><\/h2>\n

\nIf you don’t want to move any applications\/services from your old server, go straight to step 2.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, to export each of your AlwaysUp applications to a XML file:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Select Application > Export All…<\/b> to summon the Browse For Folder<\/b> selector:<\/p>\n

  2. \n

    Choose the folder where you would like the XML files to be saved.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Copy the XML files to a flash drive, or make them available on a network share that is accessible from your new PC. You will need them in step 3.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Download & Install AlwaysUp on your New Server<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \nOn your new PC, download AlwaysUp<\/a> from our web site and follow these step-by-step instructions<\/a> to install it.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n\"Installing<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

    3. Import your AlwaysUp Application(s) into your New Installation<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \nIf you exported applications in step 1, now is the time to import each of them into your new installation. On your new PC:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Select Application > Import…<\/b><\/p>\n

    2. \n

      Next, select the XML file representing the service you wish to restore. This will launch the Add Application<\/b> window, already populated with the details of your service.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Review your application’s settings. Please pay special attention to the path to your main executable or script on the General tab<\/a> (or any other file locations configured for your service) which may be different on this new PC.<\/p>\n

      Note that you may have to re-enter your Windows password on the Logon tab<\/a> because that password was not exported along with your other settings (to enforce security standards).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Click the Save>><\/b> button to record this service.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Please repeat these steps for each of the applications\/services you wish to restore.<\/p>\n

      4. Register AlwaysUp on your New Server<\/b><\/h2>\n

      Chances are that the registration code assigned to your old PC won’t work on the new computer. You’ll need to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Revoke your old license assignment<\/a>;<\/li>\n
      2. Assign your license to your new installation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        That’s it! Best of luck with your new machine!<\/p>\n
