- Install and activate the server version on the new PC.
- Stop the Megaladata Server service on both the new and old servers.
- Navigate to the folder
C:\ProgramData\Megaladata\Serveron the old server. - Copy the contents and transfer them to the new server (to a different folder, e.g., to the desktop). You can archive the folder to make the transfer easier.
