# Migrate to Microsoft SQL Server

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 10

Open Lasernet License Manager to migrate your pre-defined database from Microsoft SQL Server 2017 LocalDB to Microsoft SQL Server. The migration will include:

- Configurations
- Revisions
- Deployment history log
- Users and groups
- Security Roles

Create a new database with any name in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. The database is not added automatically by the migration process. In this example, a database is created in Microsoft SQL Server Express.

Click the **Test** button to validate the connection.

When the **OK** button becomes active, the connection is successfully established. Click the button to start the migration process.

A file with the connection settings is created in the folder.

`C:\ProgramData\Formpipe Software\Lasernet 10\Config\Default\sqlserver.json`

The Lasernet Config Server is now connected to the Microsoft SQL Server. No further actions are needed.

You cannot migrate the opposite way around. If the file **sqlserver.json** is removed, the Lasernet Config Server will connect to the Microsoft SQL Server 2017 LocalDB and use the same revision of the database from before the migration.

### Windows User Authentication

Support for Windows User Authentication in SQL Server is supported by the Lasernet Config Server, by leaving username and password empty in the Lasernet License Manager -> Config SQL Server settings

and authenticate the Lasernet Config 10 Service as the Windows user.
