I have Xeams running on a 2008R2 server. That server version is end-of-life now. Is it possible to do an in-place upgrade to 2012R2 and Xeams still works properly?

Thanks!

It doesn't say much. Sounds like I will need to redo all my settings in the web interface?? Also, is it supported on Server 2016 or 2019?

No. You should not have to redo any thing. The most important part to confirm are file paths. Although many of the file paths in the config are relative to the $INSTALL_DIR, occasionally, you could have something that is absolute. For example, consider you were using D: previously but on the new machine it is E: drive. In that case, you will have to do a file replace.

Yes. Xeams is supported on both Server 2016 as well as 2019.

Contact our support via email if you run into problems after moving the files.
