Zinstall WinServ migrates Server 2012 applications, settings, profiles, shares and data – to a new server with a new OS (such as migration from 2012 to 2022 or from 2012 to 2019).
It performs a truly native server migration: old OS is not cloned, apps are not virtualized. The entire environment is actually migrated into the new OS on the target server.
WinServ is application-generic, works even for custom or in-house applications, and for those servers where nobody even remembers how to install in the first place. It is platform-agnostic, too: you can migrate physical 2012 servers to physical 2022s, on-prem 2012 VMs to Azure 2019, Azure 2012 to AWS 2022 and any other combination.
The only native migration product on the market, WinServ is used by Fortune500 companies, multinational service providers, MSPs and IT teams, to perform 2012 migrations efficiently, automatically and completely.
Don’t take our word for it – you can evaluate WinServ on your own servers, no strings attached.
WinServ can transfer from any Windows Server OS version to any other, between on-prem / physical / virtual / Cloud, from one Cloud provider to another (AWS, Azure, private Cloud) and so on.
For example, you can migrate a physical 2012 server to a virtual 2019, migrate an on-prem application server from 2012 to 2022, consolidate a datacenter with multiple different OS versions to a standard OS platform, upgrade an Azure 2012 server to 2019 "in-place", and any other combination.
Zinstall WinServ is usable out of the box, and allows to start a migration immediately. There is no need for server-side installs, special infrastructure, learning runs, script builds etc.
It migrates entire application servers, including applications (even in-house and custom stuff that nobody outside your company has ever seen), DBs, profiles, shares, permissions and of course all data, automatically.
It is customizable, automatable and allows command line execution, for easy integration with existing centralized management tools.
WinServ is not a clone tool. It does not transfer the old OS, and doesn't overwrite anything that is already on the new server. Migrated applications become natively installed on the new server, same way as what you’d get when doing a manual migration (with their settings, data and connections in place, of course).
This is how WinServ allows to migrate a server to a different OS (such as Server 2012 to Server 2019), to consolidate a bunch of different platforms onto a single standard (e.g. instead of maintaining 2008s, 2012s and 2016s - migrate everything to a 2022), and to transfer across different platforms and different vendors.
(Native migration has some drawbacks as well, of course: it does not transfer drivers, server roles such as DC / IIS / DNS, and cannot turn incompatible applications into compatible ones (although this is a concern mainly with older 2003 / 2008 migrations)

Can I migrate 2012 servers to 2019 or 2012?
Yes, 2012 to 2019 or 2022 migration is fully supported. With 2012 End Of Support, this is one of the more common migrations done these days.
Can I use WinServ to in-place upgrade an Azure server from 2012 to 2022?
Yes. While Azure does not allow in-place OS upgrades, with WinServ it’s simple: just migrate to a fresh 2022 Azure server VM (“inside” Azure) and disable the original when done.
Can I run a few POC migrations before I commit to the whole project?
Yes, we do offer evaluation licenses for corporate customers. Contact us to request yours.
How is it priced?
WinServ is licensed per migrated server (each license is valid for 1 source and 1 target, and you can re-run on those, of course). We do provide discounts on multi-license purchases. Contact us for a specific quote.
Can I migrate a 2008 to Azure / AWS?
Yes. While you can’t run 2003 / 2008 on Azure or AWS, you can certainly use WinServ to migrate applications and files from those old on-prem servers, to new 2016 / 2019 instances on the Cloud (or on-premise).
Is the source server affected?
No, the source server is not changed by the migration, and nothing is removed from it.
Can I migrate custom applications?
Yes. WinServ is appliation-generic; it will migrate applications that nobody has ever seen before, custom stuff that isn’t even installed properly and so on. You can very much migrate those servers that no one in the company even knows how to re-build.
Can I migrate physical servers?
Yes. WinServ runs as an application on Windows. It migrates from and to physical servers, not just VMs / Cloud-side. In fact, it doesn’t “care” what the underlying hardware is, since the OS itself, and its hardware-specific layer, is not part of the migration.
We don't hide behind chat bots and never-ending menus; you get a human response, and human care. Our server migration experts will be glad to assist with every stage of the project, from planning to evaluation to execution, via email, live chat, phone or even remote assistance. We really do want to make your life easier.
