Before running the Data Migration Tool, follow the instructions in FAQ 102106 to prepare your existing data.
The Data Migration Tool does not create an icon on your desktop when installed. Instead, you must browse to the folder containing your Lexia products and double-click the appropriate icon to launch.
You will be prompted for your login information to connect to your database. This is the same login information you use when you log into the Admin Tool in your Lexia products.
After signing in, you'll see a screen very similar to the Admin Tool. In the center column, select the students (or entire classes) you wish to migrate. Note that any students who have not used Lexia will be skipped, as they have no records to migrate. Click the Migrate button after you are done choosing students.
The Data Migration Tool will create an Excel spreadsheet containing your students' names, usernames, passwords and where they left off on each unit. This needs to be e-mailed to Lexia support in order for us to put this information into our Lexia Reading database.
The migration process may take a while to run, depending on the number of students and the amount of work completed. Students should not use Lexia during the migration file creation. After the process finishes, the migration file will be created, and you will see "Finished Migrating" in your Results pane.
Students may continue to work in the previous Lexia products after the migration process is finished, however, their work will not be saved when they switch over to Lexia Reading. The Migration Tool captures a snapshot of their data as it was at the moment the migration file was created.
