Introduction
This document is a guide to assist you in migrating from AXIS Audio Manager
Pro 3.3.1.3.33 to AXIS Audio Manager Pro 4. The purpose of migrating between
the versions is to avoid having to reconfigure your system completely, but still
give you access to the new features we are introducing. There are however
differences in the foundations of the different versions, meaning that a
migration must be carefully planned.

Step 1 – Back up your system
Create a backup of your existing AAM Pro 3.3.1.3.33 system. The backup can be used for
restoring your system in case the migration is unsuccessful.
a) Stop AAM Pro 3.3.1.3.33 from the Windows system tray.
Zones from a deeper level than 10 will not be exported. To ensure
you don’t lose any zones, we recommend that you reorganize
zones to avoid a depth of >10 before migrating. You can adjust
them again once you have installed version 4.

b) Copy the database files from C:\ProgramData\Axis Communications\AXIS Audio

database files with the ones from your backup.
