To migrate a standalone hardware server to a virtual appliance, you must purchase and apply an activation key. You must also contact APC Support for new node license keys and application license keys for the virtual appliance.
- Perform a back up of the hardware server, using the Server Backup/Restore option, accessed from the Server Administration Settings option in the System menu.
- Deploy the demo version OVA, and configure it using the hardware equivalents for the Basic, Standard, or Enterprise server from which you are migrating. The available disk space for the virtual appliance must be greater than the disk space used by the hardware server.
You cannot restore to a virtual appliance with fewer CPU, fewer network adapters, less RAM, or less available disk space than the hardware server. See Deploying and configuring a Data Center Expert virtual appliance, and Data Center Expert server equivalent configurations for VM. - Perform a restore on the virtual appliance, using the Server Backup/Restore option, accessed from the Server Administration Settings option in the System menu.
You cannot restore to a virtual machine other than the Data Center Expert virtual appliance. - Apply the activation key to the virtual appliance.
- Login to the client. In the "License Keys" display, accessed from the Server Administration Settings option in the System menu, apply the new node license keys and application license keys you received from APC Support.

Hi friends
I have to perform a migration of a server ap9465 version 7.4.1 and virtualize this DCE VM platform, therefore, I can make backup and load in the VM directly without the need to upload the version to 7.8.1 for example and then migrate to the VM platform, or failing that is not necessary?
Thanks for your quick response
Hi Leonardo Suárez Ramirez,
Please contact support for help migrating your DCE installation.
Best,
Jackie
