Moving database files to a new server.

Question

We have a Sage 50 Accounting Package on our network, it is a multi-user installation, I believe that the version is 2012 or 2013. The computer that is hosting the data is slow and becoming unreliable. How do I move the company data from the old server to the new server? 
 Once it is moved I will need to point the Sage 50 accounting to the new data. 
 
 Thanks, 
 TSC

Install the software on the server, Back up the program from the old computer and restore the company data on the new computer (open Sage 50 go to File tab > Restore) Remap your workstations following the instructions below. 
 The things that will trip you up are .NET framework not installed, make sure the new computer has all of the MS window updates before installing the Sage 50 program, Not sharing the folders properly, Anti Virus / Firewall blocking the program.
