If you receive Error: "Sage 50 cannot connect to its database Pervasive on computer [old server name]", the locator file ~pvsw~.loc file contains a reference to the old server. To resolve the error, delete the ~pvsw~.loc file from each company folder, and then open the company in Sage 50.
Note: If you only have a few companies you can also restore your companies' backup files to the new server. Refer to How to restore a backup.
