hi @Asli and @ZeeZee97 

I'm new about configurating lighting control using C-Bus Toolkit Version 1.14.2 with server C-Gate v.2.10.6 (build 3145) and Schedule Plus 4.12.1.0, and I have to upgrade that, with old module controller and without re-engineering configuration and design.

So, what is the software, license, or something else you're recommendation?

thanks before.

Hi @adi_sanpradipto 

All current versions of software for C-Bus are compatible with all previous C-Bus products. Regarding licensing, the only software in your list that requires a license to upgrade is Schedule Plus, which is currently at version 5.8.0. This version of Schedule Plus mandates the latest versions of C-Bus Toolkit 1.18.2, which includes C-Gate version V3.4.1. These updated software versions address security and major issues through significant revisions. Note that maintenance for C-Gate V2 and Schedule Plus V4 is not available. However, projects from these earlier versions are fully supported by new versions.

We recommend having a reliable and validated backup before proceeding with the upgrade, as this process will overwrite existing software and convert projects to new formats. It is important to note that C-Gate V3 uses a project.db file format instead of the old project.xml format. Installing Toolkit 1.18.2 on the same PC where Toolkit 1.14.2 is installed will automatically force a project migration and conversion.

Additionally, if upgrading any C-Bus products to the latest SpaceLogic C-Bus range, these products are fully compatible with existing C-Bus systems. However, they require the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission Tool (SLCC) for programming and converting older C-Bus units, such as dimmers and relays, into new units during updates or replacements. We recommend obtaining SLCC as part of your upgrade, as it also allows exporting projects back to C-Gate V2 formats if needed.

For systems of the age you mentioned, if no new devices are being installed, Toolkit 1.18.2 is sufficient for programming any C-Bus devices. It would be helpful to know the specific "old module controller" referenced in your statement.

Providing a part number would enable us to offer additional device support. Generally, there should be no issues, although depending on the controller model, new firmware may be required.

Hi @Mr_C,

In my case, there are no new device installed, but that existing control module used in the project uses this module.

In addition, C-Bus Toolkit Software Version 1.14.2 with C-Gate server v.2.10.6 (build 3145) and Schedule Plus 4.12.1.0 is installed on a Windows 7 PC and must be upgraded to a new PC with Windows 11 on it.

And, the dongle license I have is like this,

That dongle is compatible with Windows 11 or not?

So, what i have to do?
- install the old software on the new PC, and then directly upgrade with new software, or

- install new software on the new PC, and then import file backup from existing PC, or

- what?

please you advice, and thanks before.

HI @adi_sanpradipto 

thanks for getting back. 
So the control module you show is just a general purpose relay module,  which is fine,   this device and others of similar type supported by Toolkit.  

If your main objective here is to Upgrade the PC to Windows 11 PC and continue to run Schedule Plus, and basically leave the rest of the site running as is.  Then the task is quite simple. 

On the existing PC Open Toolkit 1.14.2  and select the project that is the project for this site and with right mouse click or keyboard "Alt+B"  make a backup of your C-Bus project.  Take note of where you save the backup.

And then From Schedule Plus 4.12.1.0 with your current project open Select From the File Menu, Archive, Export to Archive. 

While in the Next Dialog  that appears, Select  All files in project folder and its subdirectories.  and also ensure Include C-Bus Project  File is selected 

Take note of where the toolkit backup and Schedule Plus archive has been placed, as you will want to use these files in your new PC setup.  

On the New PC,   
Install in this order. 

1. I suggest installing the latest version of dot.net V4 framework before  starting the install of our software. Here is a link for the current web installer .Net Framework 4.8.1. complete this install and reboot before moving to next steps.
2. Toolkit 1.18.2,  allow C-Gate to Install as a Service during this setup, which is the default. Feel free to not include sample projects as part of the install. 
3. Schedule Plus V5.8.0 (the full version number is 5.8.0.235).  In Additional task you may deselect Example Projects, and Crystal Report Templates, Leave the rest as there defaults. 
   

   Once schedule Plus is installed,  Suggest another reboot at this time.  then move onto the next step

4. Launch Schedule Plus 5.8.0 When schedule plus launches you will have option to import project from Archive.  Choose this option and select Next,  you will be asked to select a Archive project,  This is where you want to have a copy of the Project Archive from the previous PC. Select this file, you will be also given option to restore the C-Bus project file during this process.  ensure to tick this option and the default details should be fine, thus click next 
   

    Once the restore is complete you should be prompted to open the project file,  doing this will open the project and clicking finish should complete the process of restoring the project to the new Schedule Plus. 
   Please note that there is no need to restore your project inside toolkit, as Schedule plus has done this for you.  thus keep the backup from toolkit 1.14.2  Just in case you may need it at some time.
