- Only Power Monitoring Expert Standard Edition is supported; Data Center Edition and Healthcare Edition are not supported.

Note: Archived configurations saved with an earlier version of Configuration Manager are not compatible with this release of the tool.

## SQL Server Editions

If your archived configuration does not include historical data, you can migrate a system using any SQL Server edition combination. However, if your archived configuration includes historical data, migrate a system using the following:

Source SQL Server Edition | Target SQL Server Edition
--- | ---
Express | Express
Express | Standard
Standard | Standard

Note: You cannot restore data or configuration from a newer version of SQL to an older version. For example, if the source system uses SQL Server 2012, you cannot restore the configuration to a target system using SQL Server 2008 R2.

## Localization

The Configuration Manager is available in English only; it cannot be localized into other languages.
