Summary
Install Jim2 on the new server from the latest installer: http://installer.happen.biz/Installs/Jim2Setup/Jim2Setup.exe (copy and paste into a web browser).
The version of SQL must be the same or newer than that on the old server, ie. if you have SQL 2014 on the old server, you can install either SQL 2014 or a later version.

Happen Business does not store your SQL sa password. Therefore, it is important that you store this information in a safe place in case you need to reset the password in the future. |
▪The latest installer will download SQL Express 2016 by default, if selected to do so.
