I have been using a version of Ignition on older server using a trial license. My IT department got my real server for Ignition up and ready and I will be installing Ignition with the real license on it. I want to move almost everything I can to the new server. I know I can do backups, but not sure if that will work since its a new server and license. I am running 8.0.9 since I am using Sepasoft modules for MES. Any pointers? Thanks. ---

This seems to have slipped by, but yes, restoring a gateway backup is all that should be necessary.
