Migrating to new server
Hi
Im one of the IT guys for an Accountant using Accountants enterprise Practice Manager
We are setting up a new server and my question is how do I run and test a copy of the software on the new server while the old server is live. I assume theres a licencing issue here. I have previously installed the software as a trial a while ago but due to a number of reasons, didnt get to finalise the setup and testing.
I have the instructions on how to migrate but i need to resolve this issue before i start again.
Any help appreciated.

Hi peteraldo ,
During the installation of MYOBAE you can choose to use a 7 day trial license, by selecting Practice Manager and trial. If you have already installed the software once, you would need to completely uninstall Practice Manager and (if present) the MYOB Registration application. It may also be necessary to remove the MYOBAE licensing folder, the default install for this is C:\MYOB, but I have also seen it appear in C:\Registration.
You should then be able to install the software. Normally the software willl prompt to select the license during install, if a valid license is not found:
- Select Add or remove products
- Tick Practice Manager - Business (img1)
- Select OK
- Select the Temporary button (img2)
- Select the Close button (img3)
You should now have an active 7 day trial of the software.
You can also open AE Registration from the start menu: MYOB -> Registration.
Alternatively, support can assist you with licensing the product on the new server.
Cheers.
