Install New Server
------------------

Install the latest version of |PRODUCT_NAME| on the new server. 

1. Make your CUPS printers on the new server identical as the ones on the old server,
   and test the CUPS queues before installing |PRODUCT_NAME|. Use exactly the
   same names for the CUPS queues. If you deviate you might need to rename
   Proxy Printers after installation, as explained in 
   :ref:`Rename Printers <app-migrating-rename-printers>`.

2. Follow the instructions at :ref:`Server Installation <ch-install>`. 
   Complete the configuration steps, including the user import. 
   Although importing the users is not strictly required, as this 
   data will be overridden after data migration, it does
   confirm that your new server has the correct network connectivity. Of
   course you are free to synchronize with a smaller user group to proof
   the connectivity.

3. Compare the content of the :ref:`server.properties <ch-install-on-linux-config-server-properties>`
   file from the old server with the one on the new server, and change the
   file on the new server where needed.

4. Import your |SERVICE_CARD| file into the new server.
