Scenario 3: SQL and SkySync are installed on two separate Servers and only SkySync needs to be moved

...

When upgrading just the SkySync node only SkySync will need to be migrated and no action needs to be taken on the SQL server. As with anytime a migration of any type is taking place it is important to stop activity on the database as well as stop the SkySync service. It is also necessary to move a copy of the Keys folder located at C:\ProgramData\PortalArchitects\Data\ to the new server. After this is done simply reinstall SkySync using the most recent installer on the new server being sure to use the custom install so that the SQL server can be specified. Once SkySync has been reinstalled copy the keys folder into the path C:\ProgramData\PortalArchitects\Data overwriting the folder that will have been created automatically. Follow the process above for re-installing SkySync.
