Hi,

We are working for Net Express to Visual Cobol Migration and currently ' Server for Cobol' is installed in the Wintel Server. Can we install  ' Cobol Server' as well in the same Wintel server or do we need to install it separately in a new server?

We are looking for some solution if same server can be used  to provide the execution environment for the applications which will have Net Express components as well as for the applications which will be migrated to Visual Cobol.

Yes, you can have both Server for COBOL and COBOL Server installed on the same server as they use different registry entries and licensing.

You must make sure that your PATH, COBPATH, COBDIR, etc environment variables are set correctly to point to whichever product you wish to access as the run-time files of both products have the same naming conventions.
