If you are a new m-Power customer, please see the documentation for installing and configuring m-Power for new customers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This documentation provides information on configuring m-Power for existing customers using a Windows server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Updating or Replacing a License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are replacing an expiring license, after receiving the license, it will need to be copied and overwritten into the following three locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \\mrc\\development\\m-power\\proddata\\conf<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \\mrc\\development\\m-power\\mrcjava<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \\mrc\\production\\m-power\\mrcjava (all production instances)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Both the production and development Tomcat will then need to be restarted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Purchasing Additional Licenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you have purchased an additional license, you will be sent a new license file (mrclicense.txt<\/strong>) via email. This new license will entirely replace the existing license. After receiving this license, it will need to be copied and overwritten into the following three locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. \\m-power\\development\\m-power\\proddata\\conf<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \\m-power\\development\\m-power\\m-power\\mrcjava<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \\m-power\\production\\m-power\\m-power\\mrcjava (repeat for all production instances)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Note –<\/strong> After the new license file is in place, you will need to restart both the production and development Tomcat in order for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Each newly licensed database will now need to be configured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To do so, open the sign-in screen to the m-Power development interface. Click the “Configure m-Power<\/strong>” link and the following configuration screen will appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"\/\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Once this Configure your m-Power Platform screen, select your newly licensed database, and enter your credentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These credentials entered here must <\/strong>have authority to read and write data, in addition to being able to create\/alter database objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Migrating m-Power to a new server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      First, make sure your existing installation of m-Power is on the very latest update. The m-Power update can be downloaded from the Customer Portal.<\/a> Do not continue until this step is done<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once the existing m-Power has been updated, proceed to migrating to the new server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If the new server meets ALL of the following conditions, please proceed to the “Migrating m-Power exactly as-is”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
