Adding rms v2.0 installation to existing rms v1.3 installation

I have an existing RMS v.1.3 installation on a server and I need to add to this installation 2 more databases to cater for 2 separate stores, I need to have 3 separate store databases on the server.

I recently purchased a 1-User license and a 2-User license copy of RMS v2.0. I got one license string for the 1-user license and 2 license strings for the 2-User license.

How do i add these databases to my server so that i can have 3 separate stores co-existing?

And furthermore if i upgrade my existing rms v1.3 to 2.0 will my existing license and hardware key (the dongle) still work?

Regards, Terry

hi Terry,

You can create the each store database on server as you create in normal as both version are different, I am not sure you are using the HQ or not but if you wanted to make it work 1.3 and 2.0 with one HQ version then it won't work but at the level of stores it will work and doesn't matter one store has 1.3 and another has 2.0

Regarding the upgrade from 1.3 to 2.0 the major change what I can see is license key and I think microsoft stop dongle or any device level license (haven't received yet the version at my site) but evaluation edition works on key base.

Again your co-existings of different version to one HQ version won't work as far as 3 different database you have no problem.

Hi Terry, When you upgrade from 1.3 to the RMS 2.0 you will no longer need the dongle (Nor will it work), microsoft should send you a license key to use when you install the rms 2.0.

I didn that few months ago and had no issues, from what I remember you will be asked to upgrade your MySQL version but that is not a must.
