You may bring your existing settings and\/or database for Device ManageR to a new installation by copying their containing program folders and pasting them into the new installation.<\/p>\n

– The existing and new Device ManageR should be at the same software version number; copying these files from an older to a newer version of Device ManageR could cause issues. This FAQ shows you how to update your existing Device ManageR to the latest version: How To Install Device ManageR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– It’s best to copy your configuration and\/or database to a fresh installation before you’ve done any configuration or built up any history in the new Device ManageR system.<\/p>\n

The instructions below require you to stop and start the Device ManageR service. You may see our FAQ How To Stop, Start And Restart The Device ManageR Service<\/a> for help.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Copy the ‘conf’ and\/or ‘deviceDB’ folders from the ORIGINAL Device ManageR system.<\/h4>\n

The ‘conf’ folder contains your Device ManageR settings; the ‘deviceDB’ folder contains the database. You may bring either one or both to the new system.<\/p>\n

1. In the original system where Device ManageR is installed, stop the Device ManageR service.<\/p>\n

2. Navigate to your Device ManageR installation directory. The default path is C:\\Program Files\\AVTECH Device ManageR.<\/p>\n

\n

\"ADM_in_Program_Files\"<\/p>\n

3. Locate and copy the ‘conf’ and\/or ‘deviceDB’ folders.<\/p>\n

\"conf_Folder_ADM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

4. Start the Device ManageR service again if you wish.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Paste the copied ‘conf’ and\/or ‘deviceDB’ folder into the NEW Device ManageR system.<\/h4>\n

1. On the new system where Device Manager is installed, stop the Device ManageR service.<\/p>\n

2. Navigate to your Device ManageR installation directory. Again, the default path is C:\\Program Files\\AVTECH Device ManageR.<\/p>\n

3. conf<\/p>\n

– Delete the new system’s existing ‘conf’ folder. (Note that deleting this folder will remove any settings you’ve already entered into your new Device ManageR installation.)<\/p>\n

– Paste in the ‘conf’ folder from the original system.<\/p>\n

4. deviceDB<\/p>\n

– Delete the new system’s existing ‘deviceDB’ folder. (Note that deleting this folder will remove any built-up history in your new Device ManageR installation.)<\/p>\n

– Paste in the ‘deviceDB’ folder from the original system.<\/p>\n

5. Start the Device ManageR service again.<\/p>\n

6. Open Device ManageR in your browser at localhost:8080 or <IP address of Device ManageR system>:8080.<\/p>\n

– If you copied your ‘conf’ folder, the alerts, contacts, widgets, etc. from your original installation will now appear here.<\/p>\n

– If you brought in the ‘deviceDB’ folder, the historical alerts and sensor data from your original installation will now appear as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
