Migrating from McMyAdmin 2

Your McMyAdmin 2 Pro Licence

Existing McMyAdmin 2 Pro customers can use their existing licence key with AMP to create Minecraft servers and do not need to purchase a separate AMP licence. For this you use the 'McMyAdmin' module. The 'McMyAdmin' and 'Minecraft' modules are identical with the sole exception of what licence types they use.

McMyAdmin 2 licences only allow AMP to create 'McMyAdmin' instances for managing Minecraft servers. A full AMP licence is required to manage other server types.

Where is McMyAdmin 3?

"McMyAdmin 3" is the name given to AMP when it's running the McMyAdmin module with an McMyAdmin 2 key. It's not a seprate product, nor does it include anything that's not in the standard Minecraft module in AMP.

Moving from McMyAdmin 2 to AMP/McMyAdmin 3

AMP is managed differently from McMyAdmin 2 and there are a few changes in how it's initially set up. The main differences are as follows:

• AMP cannot be run as root. It will refuse to start if you attempt to do this.
• AMP only runs on 64-bit Linux system. 32-bit Linux environments are not supported.
• AMP instances are created via a tool called the AMP Instance Manager. It is responsible for creating and deleting instances rather than you having to do anything yourself.
• Different applications/games are supported by 'modules', these are plugins for AMP that tell it how to work with particular titles.

Like McMyAdmin, AMP when running Minecraft has a Minecraft directory in its datastore. So for the most part you can simply copy over this directory once you've finished setting up a new AMP instance to replace a McMyAdmin 2 one.
