Part 1: Short migration guide

This part of the article is meant as a shorter overview of how to migrate PRTG from an old system to a new system. The new system can be a virtual machine or a physical machine. You can follow these steps if you:

use the default path for storing PRTG data,
do not run PRTG in a cluster,
have no remote probes,
have direct internet access (which is required for license activation),
run a supported Windows version that is up to date, and
have the latest .NET version installed.
