 ===1. Install the software on the new computer===
-You will need to download the proper software from our website.  If you are moving a Speed-Quote **Server** to the computer, download and install the Speed-Quote **Server** software.  Otherwise download and install the Speed-Quote Client software. Do NOT start Speed-Quote on the new computer yet.
+Download and install the Speed-Quote Server software on the new computer using Administrative rights.
-[[http://www.apptastic.com|Goto the Apptastic Website]]
+Once the software is installed go to the Windows Service control panel and make sure that there is a service called "Speed-Quote Enterprise Server".  If this is not there you can install the service manually by doing the following:
-===2. Backup the data from the old computer.===
+  * Open an Administrative command prompt by typing "cmd" in the Search for Files edit box, right-clicking on the cmd.exe shortcut and clicking "Run as Administrator"
+  * change directory to the Speed-Quote Enterprise Programs folder.  This will depend on where you've installed Speed-Quote.  (e.g. c:> cd Programs Files\SQEnterprise\Programs)
+  * type "Install Server Service.bat".  A dialog box should appear if the service is successfully installed.
-{{:public:tutorials:db_management_icon.jpg|icon}}Backup the data on the old computer by using the Database Management screen.  To open the Database Management screen click on the icon that looks like a filing cabinet or select the option from the **Tools** menu.
+**Do NOT start the service yet.**
-The Database Management screen lists all the Speed-Quote databases.  Click on each database that you wish to transfer to the new computer to popup a menu of applicable options.  Click on the "Save to File" option in order to save that database to a backup file.

+===2. Stop the software on the old computer.===
-"Save to File" will create a single compressed file containing all the database elements.  By default, only the "Master Entry Sheet" product information is saved.  Make sure to check **ALL** of the check boxes to save all of the information needed as in the picture below.  We suggest that you do NOT enter a file password unless you will sending this information over the internet.  Passwords cannot be recovered if forgotten.
+If you are moving a Speed-Quote Server stop the server software from the Windows Service control panel on the old computer. After stopping the service you should also remove the Windows service.  Apptastic provides a windows batch file that can be run with Administrative rights to remove the service.  It is located in the "<SQEnterprise>\Programs\" folder and is called "Uninstall Server Service.bat".  This does NOT uninstall the software or delete any files, but simply removes the service from the Windows service list.  This effectively stops the server software from starting when the computer starts.

+===3. Copy the appropriate files and folders from the old computer to the new computer.===
-Once the OK button is clicked you will be prompted for a filename.  Select a location on your hard drive where you can easily find the file.  Type a name for the compressed database file and click the Save button.
