Moving PageGate 5.0 to a new system.

[Emergitech]

The server on which Pagegate 5.0 is running is being retired. Our customer has a large database with a rather complicated setup as they send pages to multiple different types of device.
Is there a guide available that details exactly what needs to be done to move their entire installation from the old server to the new?
The old server runs Windows 2000, the new one runs 2008 R2.

4) Run the installation file.

5) Select "Install PageGate server"

6) Review the installation options and click on Next until the installation finishes.

7) BEFORE you run the PageGate admin on the new server, copy the pagegatedata folder to the root of the hard drive on the new server.
