OK, I upgraded all my computer OSs to networkable versions, and am ready to work on connecting them to the new SBS 2008 server, which I will do tonight.
In the process, I connected two of my computers to the new AD-aware network, and was going to go through the process of installing AC v3 on the server, copy the live data files to the new server, and then migrating to v4 or v5 see if there are any problems, before I do it within the live environment. However, I have two questions.
1) what happened to the tuners? The new web pages for "Upgrade to Amazing Charts Version 5.0" from both v3 and v4 detail steps in installation, but the tuners are now not part of the process. Do we not need them any more?
2) If I succeed in full migration with this trial data, is there a way to re-import/convert/migrate live data that has a few more days of data into the trial database, or do I have to re-install?
3) I guess on a related note, if I install v5 on a second server as live replacement backup, are there files I can just copy over from the live server that has data, or is there more to it in the SQL world? Before, in v3, all we have to copy over are the mdb files and the import data files.
