Moving Timeslips 2011 to new Server

We recently upgraded from TS 2008 to 2011 without any problems.  We purchased a new server and I want to setup TS 2011 on this server. 

 

We currently run the TS database on Windows Server 2003 Standard with 15 clients.  We are updating to a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard - 64-bit. 

 

Since we did the upgrade from 2008 to 2011 can I still use the same disk to install on the new server? 

 

Do I just need to backup the database and move it to the new server and then map each clients network drive to the new database location?  Or do I need to reinstall each client starting with their new mapped drive to the new server?

 

Sorry if this has been asked before.  If there are any documented instructions from Sage on this type of transfer please point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • If you want to do it as a fresh install - especially important if there are links - you can use your most recent program disk and the reisntall codes. I always recommend going to help - about Timeslips and then support information to get the reinstall codes as this guarantees the most current version of the codes. I recommend copying and pasting into a notepad document as the reinstall code can be a nuisance and type. Make sure you reinstall any service releases before dstarting the local computers.

    If the workstations will use the same path as previously then you don't need to do anything to the workstations.
