Moving from Trial Version


We had a trial version of TFS on a small system and have been using it for a couple of months. I just received our new Server and will be buying a license for the server. Is it possible to move my project from this box with Team Foundation Server Trial Version to another system with TFS? I do not want to lose all of our projects.

Thanks.

Yes, but you can only move the entire DB -- not just one project. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252516.aspx

You can also upgrade from Trial -> Standard edition in place. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404852.aspx

Thanks for the help. Should I upgrade to the full version before the move?

I'm pretty sure you can install the full version on the target server, then restore your existing databases to it (as described in the doc Richard linked).

Just keep those backups around until you're sure everything is the way you want it to be!
