  • 1.  Move Visual Cut to New Server

    Posted 11-05-2019 17:27
    Does anyone have the step of moving Visual Cut to a new server? Would like to move without having to create reports. If no response, I'll contact Millet Software and post back the how to.

    I've done this so many times it is all instinct now.
    • Check with Ido to see if the customer is current on their license / entitled to install the latest version.
    • Install VC on the new machine (old version, or upgrade if entitled).
    • Redirect your program data from the hidden system folder (as usual).
    • Copy these four files from the old server to the new.
    • You may need to edit paths in the ini, if they are different on the new server.
    • Copy your report files to the new server.
    • Update paths... with the utility (also remembering to check your batch files for updates too).

    Thank you @Kevin Moyes. The joy with Visual Cut is each year when the end user gets the maintenance renewal. This year it was $60. ​It is a beautiful product and well worth paying for it.

    I'm confused by the third step. What is "hidden system folder (as usual)"?

    By default VC installs the settings files to a hidden system folder (as you are warned about with a pop-up the first time you run a new VC install.  Edit the ini to redirect to a path of your choosing to make managing the files easier (backups...).

    Our standard VC setup is to keep everything VC related in one place.  (Note: ProgramData does not contain the Program Files... which are fine in the default path).
