View data in deactivated database instance

I will be moving my current DPA setup to a different server, but before I do I need to know if I will still be able to run reports on the historical data that I have already collected? If I can, then I won't move the dpa repository, and will just start from scratch in the new location. However, if I can't then I will likely need to move the repository as well.

What version of DPA are you on? If more recent version (9.1+), you can view historical data collected while licensed, no issues.

You can validate/test this out by unlicensing a non-critical instance, then go back to the main page and still click into that instance to see data that was collected while licensed.

Thanks for the quick response. I am on 9.2.119. I will do as you suggest, and temporarily deactivate one of my Dev instances. Will update with how it turns out.

Cheers.

I did as you suggested and verified that I could still see the historical data.

Thanks again.
