Migrate to new host but without SQL

[pskup]

Hello community,

i want to migrate the lansweeper service and website to a new host. We have a separate SQL server which does not change.

I found these manuals:

https://www.lansweeper.com/knowledgebase/move-lansweeper-to-different-server/
https://www.lansweeper.com/knowledgebase/migration-impact-lsagent/

But I can't find a manual for a migration without changing the SQL part.

Do I have to just untick the "New Lansweeper Database" option? Will the installer then ask for the SQL Server instance (without overriding something)?

Do I have to uninstall the old installation first? Or can i uninstall it then the new installation is working properly?
Scanning via lsagent must not be disturbed.

Here is what i did. In case this will help someone else.

I don't exactly know if every step is necessary.

I used informations from the forum, the support and these main knowledge base article
