Can I migrate data from Express LocalDB to MSSQL Dedicated database?

Starting with version 3.2.0, the application introduces a new and improved method for handling encryption, providing enhanced security and reliability. Due to this change, direct migration of data from Express LocalDB to a dedicated MSSQL database is no longer supported.

What Has Changed?

1. Enhanced Encryption Method
2. A new encryption handling mechanism has been implemented to align with modern security standards.
3. The new method ensures higher levels of data security and reliability.
4. Impact on Migration
5. Existing data in Express LocalDB cannot be directly migrated to a dedicated MSSQL database in or after version 3.2.0.
6. The encryption formats used in Express LocalDB are incompatible with the encryption mechanisms in the MSSQL dedicated database under the new system.

Recommendations for Users

We recommend a fresh installation of the MFT (Managed File Transfer) application configured to connect directly to a dedicated MSSQL database.
