We are using Robohelp 5 and just bought the upgrades to version 8. The Robohelp 5 database is on an old Windows 2000 Server. How do I move that database to the new server and upgrade it to v8? I have searched Adobe and the web for the answer to this but can't find it. I opened a ticket with Adobe but they have not responded yet so thought I would ask here in case anyone knows. Is there a document or section in a manual that explains this? I looked on the Adobe site for the Robohelp manual but could not find it.

And I should clarify that we are not using the "Robohelp Server" product, just Robohelp that runs on a PC, and then storing the database of documents on the server.

I am not sure what you mean by database. If you mean a backup, then that can be on a server but your project must be local.

Upgrading a project is as simple as first zipping up a copy of the project so that if anything goes wrong, you have a safety copy, then opening the project in the later version of RH.

Might be worthwhile first letting us know what you mean by database.

The documents are "checked in" to a database on the server (version control). I have a piece of RoboHelp installed on the server that allows this to be done. So my question is how do I upgrade this to version 8 and how do I move it to another server?
