Migrating from trial to buy

Question

In the last month we have been testing Solarwinds Orion.

We decided to buy the application.

How do I migrate the "test" data (SQL express) to the new definitive (SQL server 2005) Db.

Is it recommended to migrate from a test version to a bought one or should I build a new data set.

Thanks for all the reactions.
We will decide what to do (probable a new build).

PS The link to the tutorial doesn't work.
I also tried downloading true the website and didn't get the document.

Greetings,

Mars-

There is also a tutorial for the 8.1 DB migration-

There is no recommendation against it.   The only decision point is yours:  Are these data valuable enough for the extra effort to migrate the database?  That's your call.
