Migrating to a new workstation
The purpose of this document is to provide a strategy for transferring a Connect installation to a
new workstation. The following guide applies to OLConnect v1.x / 201x.x / 202x.x and
Workflow v8.x / 201x.x / 202x.x.
Before installing the software
Before upgrading to a new version, even on a new workstation, consult the product's release
note to find out about new features, bug fixes, system requirements, known issues and much
more. Simply go to the product page and look for the "Release notes" in the Downloads area.
You should also consult the following pages for some technical considerations before
installing:
l "Network Considerations" on page26
l "Database Considerations" on page19
l "Environment considerations" on page23
l "Installation prerequisites" on page35
l "Antivirus Exclusions" on page16
Downloading and installing the software
In order to migrate to a new workstation, the software must already be installed on the new
workstation. Follow the "Installation and Activation" on page34 guide to download and install
the newest version of PlanetPress Connect on the new workstation.
Backing up files from the current workstation
The first step in migrating to a new workstation would be to make sure all necessary production
files and resources are backed up and copied over to the new system.
Note

version, we strongly recommended doing so. It is considered "Best Practice" to convert
