Wingate 6 and failing hard drive

[breese]

I have been using the last version of Wingate 6 for a number of years and have been very happy with it.
Recently the hard drive in my machine is starting to fail.

I have exported the Reg setting using the Wingate tool.
Will Wingate 6 run on a Windows 7 machine?
I tried the newer version of Wingate (trial mode) and just got lost in trying to configure it. Also the budget is tight right now and upgrading while keeping a 6 user license can be difficult.

My black list is very extensive in the current version and I would like to keep it.

What are my options?
thank you and I need to rebuild this machine as soon as possible

Thank you....
Now that I have the export from Wingate, Can you point me to the instructions on how to import it and transfer my authentication code.
thanks

I have the new machine built and am currently using the Trial Version.
I have tried to import my settings from the other machine but they do not seem to take.
Old machine XP Pro
New Machine Windows 7 Ultimate

Does the new machine need to have my license validated before allowing the Reg file to be imported?
I have a lot of setting I need moved over..
thanks

Hi

the license won't make any difference in relation to copying settings. I would recommend activating a trial on the new wingate first though, then migrate settings (there's a wingate configuration utility for this). Then finally when you're ready to decommission the old WinGate, deactivate the license on the old one, and activate it on the new one.
