Checkbox 7: Migration to a New Host

Hosting Environment

Ensure the new host meets all system requirements for Checkbox, including Windows Server, IIS, SQL Server, and .NET dependencies. 

Database and File Backup

Back up the Checkbox SQL database and the application files from the current server (\inetpub\wwwroot\Checkbox\).

Installation on New Host

  • Install the same Checkbox version on the new host.
  • Restore the backed-up database.
  • Deploy the application files, preserving configurations in web.config.

Update Configuration

  • Confirm connection strings in web.config are updated to point to the correct database.
  • Update any custom integrations, like LDAP or AD, as network paths or credentials may change.

Licensing

Contact Checkbox support to reissue or update the license for the new server if required.
