Hello all!
My restaurant is currently on Aloha 6.4.22 on Windows XP, Parallel port license key. I'm building a NEW server that will be running Windows 7 32-bit (just seemed like the easiest O/S - 64-bit an Server sounded like they were causing problems), with Aloha 6.7.30 on top.
The current Aloha server is running actively in the restaurant. The new box I am ATTEMPTING (probably a bad idea) to run Aloha as a VM on top of ESXI. So far, I've got the box prepped by reading several tutorials on this site - especially by coorsman (thanks!). I've got the new USB HASP key recognized, and networking prerequisites squared away, lana set, and about to start loading Aloha.
I should say - my day job is a network engineer, so I'm pretty comfortable around this stuff - not so comfortable around Aloha's idiosyncrasies.
MY QUESTION - the Aloha CD I have does not have advanced.exe on it. My understanding is, after I get Aloha all prepped, services running, etc. - I need to copy the data over from the old machine and "update" the database from 6.4.22 to 6.7.30. My understanding is that I need advanced.exe to do this.
Any ideas/help? Pretty sure I didn't get the full Aloha CD.
Cheers!
