For SeqSphere+ Server installed on Windows as Windows Service (default)

• Step 1: Be sure that a recent backup of the database was made.

• Step 2: Shutdown the SeqSphere+ server service.

• Step 3: Create the new directory where the SeqSphere+ server should store the database (e.g., 'E:\seqspheredata')

• Step 4: Move the 'data/' and 'filestorage/' folders (only these two folders!) to the new directory.

Hint: The 'filestorage/' folder must be copied to the new directory, even if it is not in the same location as the 'data/' folder.

• Step 5: Configure the new directory in the server: Edit the file 'C:\Program Files\RidomSeqSphereServer\workingdir.config' with a text editor and replace the path in this file (default is 'C:\seqspheredata') with the new one (e.g., 'E:\seqspheredata').

• Step 6: Start the SeqSphere+ server service again using the command in the Windows Start Menu and log in with a client to test it.

• Step 7: A new license activation may be necessary. Please contact us, if you have any problems when re-activating your license key.
