====== Importing from the BlestaCMS CE ======


<markdown> 

So you've been using the BlestaCMS Community Edition and would like to convert to the premium version again called BlestaCMS Pro.

Awesome! It's pretty easy to do this. All you need is the BlestaCMS Importer tool.

Download it from [here](https://cdn.atlanical.uk/files/cms_importer-1.0.0-a2.zip).

Upload the **CMS Importer zip** to the plugins folder on Blesta.
Example: `/var/www/html/plugins/` or `/home/yourusername/domains/domain.com/public_html/plugins/`

Then unzip it so it creates the **cms_importer** plugin folder. 

**Ensure you have both the cmspro and the cms importer plugins installed.**

You can then go to your blesta admin area (hopefully not "admin") and go to `Tools > CMS Importer`.

Finally import the tables you wish to migrate over.

PS: `blestacms_licensing` won't be able to imported over as the Community Edition doesn't have licensing now.
