Download the installer

Download the Form Migrator package from the Lightning Tools Download Center and unzip the folder anywhere on your computer.

Install prerequisites

If you have not installed the Migrator previously, you may see the following Prerequisites Setup dialog if your computer is missing some of the prerequisites.

It may take several minutes for the missing items to be installed.

Finish installing

It may take several minutes to install.

After installation is complete, click Finish, or if you wish to open the Lightning Tools Form Migrator now, click the Run button.

If you have a full or trial license file that you have not yet used, click the 3 dots next to “Select a Lightning Tools Forms Migrator license file”, and browse to your license file to add it here. If you have already activated your license, or if you are trialling and have not yet received a license that allows you to convert/write forms, click Continue to open the application. It may take a few seconds to load the first time.
