Manually Moving Speed-Quote Server to another Computer

Sometimes it is easier for an experienced IT person to manually move an existing Speed-Quote Server installation than to install and setup the Server Software and then transfer the data to the new server.

In the default installation all executables, templates, data and user preferences are contained within the same root folder. In this situation, moving the server consists of:

disabling & removing the Server Software Windows Service,
copying the root Speed-Quote folder to the new computer,
creating or changing a few settings
enabling and starting the Server Software
pointing the client software to the new server

Disabling & Removing the existing Server Software Windows Service

It is important to stop the current Speed-Quote Server software in order to make sure that any data files are unlocked before moving the installation.

Stop the Speed-Quote Server Windows Service in the Windows Administrative Tools → Services program.

Set the Start Up type for the service to “Disabled”.
