## Upgrading LAM or migrate from LAM to LAM Pro

### Migrating configuration files

First, you need to make a backup of your existing configuration files.

LAM stores all configuration files in the "config" folder. Please backup the following files and copy them after the new version is installed.

config/*.conf
config/config.cfg
config/pdf/*.xml
config/profiles/*.xml

LAM Pro only:

config/selfService/*.*
config/passwordMailTemplate.txt

Second, uninstall your current LAM (Pro) installation.

Third, install the new LAM (Pro) release. Skip the part about setting up LAM configuration files.

Finally, restore your configuration files from the backup. Copy all files from the backup folder to the config folder in your LAM Pro installation. Do not simply replace the folder because the new LAM (Pro) release might include additional files in this folder. Overwrite any existing files with your backup files.

Now open your webbrowser and point it to the LAM login page. All your settings should be migrated.

Please check also the version specific instructions. They might include additional actions.

### Version specific upgrade instructions
