Hi All!

We'd like to migrate our asset data like OS licenses, Windows licenses and Software purchase from Altiris 6 to 7. I found something in the document  "Migrating data from Notification Server 6.x" which says that the migration wizard is to use but not in detail how to do that on above mentioned items.

When starting up the migration wizard there are so many things to export that’s it's not that clear to me what to use to not export unneeded garbage as well.

Does some one of you have experience in this?

Thx 4 help

If tou have collector

If tou have collector solution installed, you could export all you data to a simple .xls sheet and then import it into 7

Please don't

The Asset 6.x software licenses and software purchases have been completely re-implemented in Asset 7.x. There is very little common area between the two.

So better stick with the upgrade tool and once you have all the data imported to NS7.x, go to the software license section and manually migrate your 6.x software licenses one by one.

It could be a tedious process, but given the changes one don't have much option.
