I would suggest to do the upgrade on the current system.

If everything is working, install lansweeper on the new server (full install)
Afterwards copy the old database over the new empty database

(make sure you have backups before you start)

I´m working on new instalation over Windows 2003 Server and I received an announce that new released is available. What do you suggest. Install old version on windows 2003 server and doing the upgrade there or to install directly new release on Windows 2003 Server?. But in this case, what happens with database?

Your database stays on the same server right?

If yes, just use the installer and install only the scanning service on the new server and point to the existing database.
(don't choose install database or you will overwrite the existing one)

Ok, then I think taht is a good idea to migrate Lansweeper from Windows XP to Windows 2003 Server. Can you explain me wich is better way to migrate without data loosing?

Windows XP is limited to the amount of TCP ports opened.
On a real server you can make the amount of scanning threads higher.

In the actual configuration I have the database on an SQL2005 (a server wint Windows 2003 R2 64 bits) and the rest of Lansweeper running on the pc with Windows XP Pro that I mentioned earlier.

Are you going to split the database/scan server?
This will make the most performance impact.

I applied this settings as we talked about, but I have a new related question. Actually Lansweeper is running on Windows XP Pro Workstation. If I move it to an Windows 2003 Server, performance will improve?.
As additional data, below you hace the hardware configuration of both machines:

Server with Windows 2003 Server: Pentium IV 3.2 GHz HT 1 MB Cache; 3 GB ram memory; 80 GB HD.
PC with WinXP Pro: Pentium Core 2 DUO E4400 2.0 GHz; 2 GB ram memory ;160 GB HD
