Background:There are various reasons to move WinGate to a new server. Moving WinGate is a straight-forward process that involves installing the same version on the new computer, exporting and importing the WinGate configuration and moving the license. It is important to run the same version of WinGate on both machines to make importing the configuration as easy as possible. Sometimes that can require you to update the original WinGate installation to the same version before exporting the configuration, or installing the old version on the new computer, importing the configuration and then updating to the latest version. A WinGate license can only be activated on one machine at any time, so activating a 30 day free trial allows you to configure and test the new server before deactivating the license off the original server and moving it to the new server.
Tasks:Check the version of the existing server and install the same version on the new server Export the configuration from the existing server and import it into the new server Move the license
Steps:Check the version and install WinGate
Export and import the configuration
Move the license
Additional Tasks:Test connectivity to the new server. If the new server will have a different IP address than the old server, you may need to update the proxy server IP address in the browser settings on the LAN clients. Update any wpad.dat file locations in the DHCP server and any GPOs that reference the server location.
