Hello All, My colleagues and I have been charged with migrating data from 5 Progress 8.3b databases on old windows NT 4.0 boxes, to an sql server data archive. All was well until we came to 1 environment that has only a runtime version of Progress. The documentation indicates that you must have a FULL Progress version to have access to the Procedure Editor. We need the editor! Client staff has no operational knowledge of Progress installation/maintenance. Can anyone give general guidance on upgrading runtime to full version, or is this even possible? We are wary of doing complete uninstall and reinstall. ANY thoughts on this will be Greatly appreciated.
 
I'm not sure if this works, but on one of the boxes that has the developer license installed, try taking the %DLC/progress.cfg file and copying it to the relevant location on the runtime only machine.

I'm only guessing though...
 
to simple is to copy the database to a machine who has a FULL version of progress.
copy the database in the same directory as the source ... and dump the data
 
Good thought rstanciu, unfortunately the 5 NT boxes are located in different locations of a multi-national corp. and have different versions of progress, or the ERP application that uses progress DB. have tired this on 4 boxes, no success yet. will try last machine as soon as we get access to it. Thanks for the idea!
