Moving ListManager with an External Database

If you are using an external database (MS SQL, Oracle) and you'd like to move your ListManager installation, follow these steps.

1. Shut down your old ListManager installation.

2. Clear your activation code by opening a command prompt and running the clearactivation command. Change to the lm directory and run the following command:

lm clearactivation

2. Install ListManager on the new machine. Provide the information requested to connect to your SQL database server, but do NOT have ListManager create the tables for you--this will delete your database! Alternatively, you may point ListManager to a different database during the installation, and point it to the correct database by changing the database information in the lmcfg.txt file, which can be found in your ListManager directory.

3. Update your activation code by opening a command prompt and running the getactivation command. Change to the lm directory and run the following command:

lm getactivation

4. Start ListManager on the new machine. You're done!
