We are looking to replace our server with a newer faster one. Is there anything we need to know about installing Pro Gold on the server or moving the database over? Would a raid 10 configuration help make it faster? Do we need to install SQL seperately? Thanks.

Make sure you have a recent backup of the datafile. A RAID 10 configuration has performance advantages over other RAID configurations (e.g., RAID 5) as the Pro Gold i2 database is a relational database format. SQL is installed by the Pro Gold i2 installation program.

Note 1: Step 4 contains a link to access the Microsoft website for downloading => SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005
This tool is needed to detach and attach the existing database
The tool has a 32 bit and a 64 Bit version depending on the version of the operating system it will be used on

Note 2: The SQL database conists of two files:
(1) ProGoldSQL_XXXXXX.mdf is the actual datafile
(2) ProGoldSQL_XXXXXX_LOG.LDF is the companion logfile.
