Good day Alteryx buddies We are planning a migration to a new Windows Server (probably to Windows2012) and, of course, we'll need to do some flavour of re-install of AlteryxServer on the new Windows box. There are a couple of procedural questions I can't seem to work out / find a way to decide on : * should we do a fresh / up to date AlteryxServer installation or re-install the current installed version on the new Windows box? * is there a way to quickly / automatically migrate the workflows? (nb - there are <30 so doing this by hand wouldn't be a show-stopper) * if anyone has experience of doing this please could you share high level summary of the process and any sticky points you stumbled across? I am guessing there might be a set of procedures somewhere (and hoping it is straightforward) so any advice and/ / or pointers would be super-brilliant. Many thanks in advance jonna

What are steps when migrating to a new Windows Server

Good day Alteryx buddies

We are planning a migration to a new Windows Server (probably to Windows2012) and, of course, we'll need to do some flavour of re-install of AlteryxServer on the new Windows box. There are a couple of procedural questions I can't seem to work out / find a way to decide on :

should we do a fresh / up to date AlteryxServer installation or re-install the current installed version on the new Windows box?
is there a way to quickly / automatically migrate the workflows? (nb - there are <30 so doing this by hand wouldn't be a show-stopper)
if anyone has experience of doing this please could you share high level summary of the process and any sticky points you stumbled across?

I am guessing there might be a set of procedures somewhere (and hoping it is straightforward) so any advice and/ / or pointers would be super-brilliant.

Many thanks in advance

thanks @dougperez - any idea if this requires a temp second licence?

If you want the two servers running at the same time for a short period: Yes.
Try to contact one of the partner to see if they can "lend" you a licence just for the migration, after that you will need to deactivate the license and activate.
