Note: If, for some reason, you cannot close all of the clients with open sessions, disconnect the Appli-
cation Server from the database. To achieve this, clear the value of

Moving projects created in an earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture to a new database
If you wish to keep your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture and at the same time use its projects in ABBYY
FlexiCapture 11, you need to create a new database in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 and move the required projects to this
database. Note that this method will not move your documents.
Proceed as follows:
1. Export the projects created in your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture from the Application Server to the
file system.
 On the Project Setup Station of your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture, open the projects on the
Application Server, one by one, and use the Project > Export Project command in the main menu to
export the projects to the file system. This will only export the projects, the documents will not be ex-
ported. Therefore, be sure to complete the processing of the documents in your earlier version of
ABBYY FlexiCapture;
2. Create a new database in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.
 In the Administration and Monitoring Console of ABBYY FlexiCapture 11, create a new database and
specify the path to the new file storage location (see Creating a database for detailed instructions);
3. Update the projects to the version used by ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 and upload them onto the Application
Server.
 On the Project Setup Station of ABBYY FlexiCapture 11, open the exported *.fcproj projects, one by
one. When you open an old project, it will be updated to the version used by ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.
Note that once a project is updated, the Document Definitions lose their “published” status. To publish
the Document Definitions, on the Project Setup Station, select Project -> Document Definitions…,
then select the Document Definitions to publish and click Publish.
 Once a project has been updated, upload it onto the Application Server by selecting File -> Upload
Project to Server in the main menu of the Project Setup Station.
 See Uploading a project to the server for more information about uploading projects onto the server.
