  2. Copy all the contents of C:\ProgramData\Cinegy\VoIP Registry Server\Database folder.

  3. Paste the copied content into a newly created C:\ProgramData\Cinegy\Cinegy Route Directory Server\Database folder with replace.

  4. Start the Cinegy Route Directory Service and launch Cinegy Route Manager to see the content of your Cinegy Route database.
