Overview

Use the directions below to import the Trust Center Virtual Machine Using Hyper-V Manager.

Note: Cloning of a Trust Center virtual machine is not supported. Each Trust Center instance is licensed with a unique identifier, and cloning the VM will invalidate the license. Attempting to start a cloned instance will result in the license breaking and the Trust Center becoming inoperable. Use the Export/Import feature to move the Trust Center. When importing, you must select Use existing unique ID to preserve the original license.
