If you are moving from Smartlaunch 4.x or Gizmo v1, use Gizmo Importer Tool first
STEP 1: Run "Gizmo Service Configuration Wizard" desktop shortcut.
STEP 2: Click on "Configuration wizard"
STEP 3: SQL DB type & connection details. The default settings are recommended. Do not create a Database after installing SQL Server, Gizmo will create the database automatically.
If you used the importer tool, or if you are migrating from another server enter previous database’s name
STEP 4: Enter your Gizmo account credentials. Visit http://www.gizmopowered.net/ to create an account
