How to change server hardware (on windows and unix  platforms)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Infotrove licenses allow you to change server hardware. The license is 
time based i.e. It is only valid for a year. The time limit is not 
restrictive as you can download new licenses whenever you wish. The 
time limit allows you to change HOSTID and obtain a new license, the
old license will naturally expire when the time limit runs out.

To change server hardware perform the following steps;
 
1) Install Infotrove on the new server. NOTE: It must be the same version.
   It will run in evaluation mode. Go to the "About" tab and send Atrove 
   the new HOSTID. 

2) Wait for new license code from Atrove. 

3) Stop infotrove on both the old server and the new server, 
   via the services window on a Windows platform 
   and tr_stop on unix platforms. 

4) Move the user files from the old server to the new server. The user 
   files can be found under C:/Program Files/Infotrove User Files on 
   a windows platform and /home/atrove/infotrove/user on a unix platform. 
   Place them in the same location on the new server. 

5) Start the Infotrove service on the new server again. 
   This time is should find the old user files. The license will be 
   incorrect and the login screen will inform you of this. 
   Install the new licence you received in step 2. 


Note about versions
-------------------

When changing Infotrove versions the setup stage needs to parse the 
user database and modify it to suit the new binary version. 
So you must move the database before installing a new version.
Once the database or user files are intact on the new server then you 
can upgrade the infotrove version.


NOTE: You can't go back to an old version. If you feel you might want 
to do this, please backup the user database before you begin.
