# Leapwork Trial to Platform Migration

Leapwork offers users three different types of licenses i.e. **Trial, Platform & Enterprise.** In this article, we will learn how to smoothly migrate using the Leapwork automation tool from Trial Version to Platform Version.

To prevent data loss and prepare for any unforeseen problems during the migration, we strongly encourage you to perform a backup of Leapwork and related data before starting the migration or ensure that the latest backup contains the necessary versions of flows, environments, etc. The backup will allow you to roll back to the previous version if required.

**Full Backup** - To perform a full backup of Leapwork automation flows, assets, videos, and reporting data, copy the Assets folder (typically, ‘ **_C:\Program Files\Leapwork\Assets’_**) to any location outside of the installation directory. If you already have a backup fulfilling your requirements, this can also be used. Also, make sure you have the encryption key & admin password stored.

The **reporting data & run lists** will not be migrated as part of the migration process. If you need access to the history of your previous automation runs, it is recommended that you export the reporting data needed using Leapwork’s built-in export capability. If you have already created a preferred reporting view, exporting it is easy: Click on Export in the Reporting section’s menu bar. You can export it into Excel, HTML, or PDF. Be aware that the exported reporting data cannot be imported back into Leapwork **.**
