This document describes how to migrate existing MaxCS systems to a Private Cloud service. This process will allow the configuration to be kept as well as all recordings and user voicemails.

• CDR (Call History) will not be moved with this process
• An Enterprise Network configuration will not be brought to the new cloud server

Note:  When upgrading from releases earlier than 6.5, you should re-enter the data and the configuration details rather than performing these steps.  Reuse existing phrases, leverage existing import/export tool to create extensions. There is no voicemail or call history migration in this process.
