Notes:

• The transfer process does not change the original libraries.
• Desktop Content libraries can be transferred only to the same version of the Autodesk Vault server.
• The current and three previous versions of the Autodesk Vault server support transfer from the highest server partition to the corresponding Desktop Content folder.
• The transferred library must be unique in the destination storage. If a copy of the same library exists in the destination, the library is duplicate and cannot be transferred.
• Transferred libraries are not automatically added to the configuration.
