Question
How to move my Compass to a new workstation?
Answer
Please follow below steps in order to move Compass to a new workstation.
Step 1
Preparation on the old workstation. It includes
- Backup SQL Database (It is also possible to skip this step if you refer a fresh start on the new workstation. In this way, you will have a brand new database WITHOUT any previous data. You would need to redo the hardware setup, and all previous imported plans are not here.) Detailed procedure can be found: How do I backup the database of the COMPASS correctly
- Backup Beam Models
Beam Models are not stored in SQL Database, we need to backup/restore it separately.
In Beam Commissioning software - Service - Backup machines..., select the desired beam model, define the directory and file name - click Backup, and you will have the *.rsbak file, this is the backup of beam model. Repeat the above procedures for all desired beam models one by one.
Step 2
Install SQL Database and Compass on the new workstation
Step 3
Restore SQL Database (can be skipped if you choose not to backup database in the first step) Detailed procedure can be found: How to restore a database?
Step 4
Restore Beam Models
Run Beam Commissioning software again, go to Service - restore machines - select the source file - click Restore, the beam model will be restored.
Step 5
License Activation.
You will see the About window jumping out when running Compass or Beam Commissioning. Click the c2v... button to generate the c2v file and send it to register@iba-group.com, we will create the activation file (v2c file) for you.
Apply the v2c file by going to About - v2c...-select v2c file - open, a window will jump out informing you activation is successful.
