Operating System Updates and Server migration (how to move Application Suite in a new server)

If your Imagicle Application Suite is installed into an actual/virtual server equipped with an outdated OS version (like Windows Server 2008 or 2012), you might need to update the operating system to a recent Windows Server 2016/2019/2022.

You can't simply perform the Windows Server update procedure on top of your existing installation, because this is going to change several system files and eventually corrupt Imagicle Suite installation and relevant licenses.

The correct procedure for Windows operating system update implies deploying a new server from scratch, with new OS, in place update is not allow.

Update procedure

The update to a new Windows Server OS version is accomplished through the following steps:

* Backups are forward - compatible since Imagicle 2012.2.1 release. E.g. if you have the backup of a 2012.2.1 configuration, you will be able to restore it over a new 2020.1.1 installation. If you have older Imagicle versions, please contact Imagicle Tech Support for additional details.
