# Migrating Products

  Migrating a product enables you to convert one product type to another product type. For instance, you may have an older product and want to replace it with a newer product.

Note: You cannot migrate backwards.

1. Open the configuration editor for the product you want to update.

2. From the configuration editor, open the File menu and select Migrate. The Migrate to Different Product dialog box will open.

3. From the New Product Type list, select the desired product type, then click on OK. The configuration editor automatically closes.

4. Open the configuration editor for the product you just upgraded.

5. From the Code Version list, select the desired code version to load onto the unit. You may want to check all other parameters for accuracy.

6. Open the Install menu and select Install to complete the migration process. The new code version will be installed onto the unit. When the installation completes, the unit's status bar will reflect the new product type.
