Migrate server projects
You can migrate server project databases to a location on the same server or to a different server using SQL Server Management Studio. If you are migrating projects to a different server, make sure that destination server is running the same version or later of NVivo Server.

After you migrate projects from one NVivo Server to another using SQL Server Management Studio, you will need to refresh the list of projects displayed in the Server Manager.
