On-Prem to Cloud Migration: Next Steps

On-Prem to Cloud Migration: Next Steps

Welcome to CurrentWare Cloud: Your Next Steps

Estimated time: 10–15 minutes  ·  For customers migrating from an on-premises environment

Overview Your CurrentWare Cloud tenant has been created, and you've been emailed your login credentials. This guide walks you through logging in, installing the CurrentWare Client on the devices you're migrating, bringing over your existing policies and groups, and keeping access to your historical on-premises data.

Step 1: Log In to Your Cloud Tenant

Check your inbox for the welcome email from CurrentWare to the currentware cloud. Open the link and sign in using the username and password provided. Your renewal email will also have your cloud portal link. 

Remember to bookmark your CurrentWare cloud page!
Notes
Don't see the welcome email? Check your spam or junk folder, or reach out to support and it can be resend to you.

Step 2: Install the CurrentWare Client on Your Devices

Once you're logged in, you'll be prompted to download the CurrentWare Client. Follow the on-screen prompts to get the installer, then install it on each machine you're migrating to the cloud.

If manually installing the .MSI file, you may get additional Administrative "User Account Control" prompts.
Notes
Rolling out to more than a handful of machines? See Next Steps: Deploy the CurrentWare Client to Your Devices for silent install and RMM options.

Step 3: Migrate Your Policies and Groups

If you'd like to bring your existing policies and groups over from your on-premises server instead of rebuilding them from scratch, we have a migration tool that can help. Contact our support team to get this set up.

For tools such as BrowseControl or AccessPatrol; all policy and list information has export and import capabilities natively for easy carry over. The import and export functions can be found on the corresponding policy window within your on-premise or cloud console.


Step 4: Access Your Historical Data

If you need to retain access to your historical reporting data, you can keep your on-premises server running alongside your new cloud environment. A license for your on-premises server should already be included as part of your subscription - if you don't have one or aren't sure, contact support or success and we'll confirm it's set up for you.

Notes
This on-premises license is provided for the length of your cloud subscription, so you can reference historical data for as long as you need it alongside your cloud reporting.
