Requirements Mirror computers must be on a network Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 on all Mirror computers Person performing conversion must be a network administrator Database and images must be backed up prior to conversion Procedure Identify a database server One computer on your network needs to run Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE (MSDE is a freely distributable version of the SQL Server engine that is included on the Mirror CD). It is best to use a dedicated database/file server that is not used as a workstation. The server should have an ample amount of RAM (preferably 1GB or more), a fast processor or multiple processors, a fast hard drive or array, and should be running Windows 2000 or higher. If you are already running MSSQL Server on the network, you may skip the following two sections and proceed to "Convert database." Install MSDE (new computer) Follow the steps below if the computer you have identified as a database server does not yet have Mirror installed. If your database server already has Mirror installed, proceed to "Install MSDE (current Mirror computer)." Run Windows Update to ensure that you are running the most current version of the operating system. Log on to the computer with a user account that has local administrative access privileges. Attach the hardware key to the computer’s parallel port. (Note: If you do not wish to use the database server as the Mirror License Server, you may omit this step.) Close any programs that may be running on the computer. Insert the Mirror CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. The Mirror Setup program starts automatically.

(Note: If prompted to do so, you should choose to restart the computer.) Proceed to "Convert database." Install MSDE (current Mirror computer) Follow the steps below if the computer you have identified as a database server already has Mirror installed. Insert the Mirror CD (the Mirror Setup program will start automatically). When the Setup Type screen appears, select "Full Install" and click Next.
