Oh, I'd always say go for more memory. Especially if there are other Windows apps that are going to be used on that computer. As to the locking, the normal record locks inside of UV once it's moved. Just do a simple edit of a record on the workstation, then from another workstation, edit the same record. If there is a problem, the workstation hosting UV is probably not locking the records. When I saw the problem, it was because the workstation was accessing UV through the C: drive, which was local, of course. To fix it, you have to map a network drive and ONLY use the network drive on that workstation. The idea was that local drives didn't NEED to be locked since it's a single user OS. At least that's the way it was explained to me. Come to think of it, Win7 may not even maintain a network locking table. Remember, I said I did this on a PE version where I was pretty much the only user.

This won't be a heavily used system (3 or 4 users maximum and even then should be too taxing). Should they max out the memory on the PC it's going to be installed on? Or is 4gb fine?

Especially on the workstation that is hosting UV. Then, as long as all the drive letters are the same as on the server, everything should be okay. Of course, YMMV but I've done this type of swapping on my home network with the personal edition a number of years ago. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Monday, November 18, 2013 11:04 AM To: U2 Users Subject: [U2] moving UV from one server to another (windows) Had someone ask me this question. They are downsizing their PC's They have UV currently installed on a Windows Server PC - and each of the PC's using wintergate to access it. This server is having some issues, so they want to move UV off of it, and have it run on one of their "client" PC Running windows 7. My thought was that you would install UV on that PC, Then (with the services off), copy the file structure from The Server to the PC. Assuming the all the folders are named the same on both systems for the install. And of Course remove UV from the Server once all it good. Should this be all that would be needed? Will UV function on a Windows 7 PC? Can it be used as working PC - as well as be a UV server? Everything I've heard says it should run by itself - but - can it run on a PC as background service?
