Brief summary:

On the old Server:
1. Using the Net Server Configuration Utility, go to the Database tab and click the Create Copy button. This creates a copy of this existing database into a Zip file.
2. Save the Zip file to an appropriate location where you will be able to access it.
3. Untick the TCP/IP nodes on the tcp/ip tab on the configuration utility and apply.

On the new Server:
1. Load/install the Net2 software onto the server.  Install as Lite, if the existing install was pro, this saves to the database and carries the pro over when imported.
2. Open the Net Server Configuration Utility. In the Database tab click the Import Copy, browse to the Net2Database. and click Ok.
3. Run the Net2 application to confirm all details have been transferred correctly.  
4. Tick the TCP/IP nodes on the tcp/ip tab on the configuration utility and apply.

Please note, if instead of network control units, you are using a USB converter to connect the control units, then plug the converter into the new machine and go to the "Net2 Configuration Utility" - "Database" tab then "Restart The Services".
