[Marcel Odermatt]

We have our first Customer who would like to migrate. I'm trying this in the partner network, with the "switch to hosted" button, select "migrate PBX" na then trying to upload the backup file.

After that i get the Erros Message:
The page was not displayed because the request entity is too large.

I couldn't managa to downsize the backup till now, any other ideas/help?

Hi, how big is your backup file ?
There is always the option to install the PBX with the key you want ( if you have bound it with FQDN it will take it automatically ) setup your PBX and then upload your backup to FTP, Google Storage, or SFTP and restore it from there to your installed PBX.
With this way all your settings will be restored.

its 363MB

How/where can i create the pbx with only the key?

@Marcel Odermatt I think think you understood.
It is not possible to create a PBX only with a key.
As I mentioned above if you have bound it with FQDN it will take it automatically, which means that if you have already installed this PBX somewhere else before and the key has an FQDN, if you select option " Deploy to Hosted " and then " Deploy 3CX " then there are 3 steps :
1) Select your FQDN, which if FQDN is already bound with key, it will not ask you for configure an FQDN so this step is skipped.
2) Extension Length, where you specify the length( 2 Digits, 3 Digits and so on ) and you will select the same length of extension you have on your backup.
3) Finish Information.

So after you set up this PBX and you login to your new Management Console you will have only 1 extension. Then you upload the backup you already have to FTP, Google Storage, or SFTP, you point the path of the " Backup and Restore " of the PBX to this location, the PBX will see your backup, you select it and you restore it. That's it.

Now please PM me with the license key you used in order for me to check the error for the "
The page was not displayed because the request entity is too large. "

Everything worked fine. Needed some time to realize, that i can press next without uploading the backup

The PBX is now up and running. If you still need information about License key, just text me.
