upgrade - scanning server not the same as db server

[Slicer]

Hello

We are planning to upgrade to version 5.0 but i have a few questions.

First of all, our scanning server is not the same as our database server. Does this give any issues on the installation? Are there any additional steps we need to do before the upgrade?

Secondly we would like to keep al of the history of our machines like event logs, last logon times, ...
Is all this information saved during the upgrade?

Thank you

Upgrade instructions can be found on page 164 and beyond of our online documentation. This is mentioned in the documentation, but you don't need to upgrade your database server separately. The database is automatically upgraded when the service is. We recommend performing a backup before upgrading, just to be safe.

Event log tables are cleared during the upgrade, as the event log database structure has changed. New event log data will be retrieved during scanning. Some additional tables are cleared as well. An overview of database changes can be found in our 5.0 beta announcement.

Upgrade impact:
The following tables will be cleared and will be rescanned after the upgrade.
Tblquickfixengineering
tblservices
tblshares
tblbootconfiguration
tblautorun

The following tables will be cleared and will NOT be rescanned (can be changed in the configuration tool)
tblDCOMApplication
tblCOMApplication
tblCodecFile
tblComponentCategory
tblnetworkclient
tblbus
tblenvironment

All relationships/indexes, primary keys of non-default Lansweeper tables will be removed (Tables will not be deleted)
Default reports will be upgraded to v5 format
Custom reports will be upgraded (if possible)
