This section answers some of the most frequently asked questions about using Content Matrix.
Question
Are read and write permissions to the SharePoint content database sufficient for the Metalogix Extensions Web Service to perform migration?
Answer
As you may know, the Metalogix Extensions Web Service requires read and write permissions to the Content Database, according to a Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935751. However, this is only a solution if you have encountered the message "Unhandled Exception: system.IO.FileNotFoundException" when using the SharePoint object model. We have found that few users have reported this issue, since the Web Service account is usually granted the sysadmin server role, which has complete control over all database functions.
After some internal testing we have determined that the Web Service installing account requires more than read and write permissions to function without database errors.
1."db_owner" rights to the SharePoint Content Database is required.
If the Web Service account does not have the db_owner right to the SharePoint Content Database, Content Matrix will not be able to migrate list items using the Web Service, and may receive one of the following errors:
4/19/2010 7:13:53 PM Error copying list item: 1/1 (id: 1, title: Get Started with Windows SharePoint Services!): Service Error: [MLSPService could not add items: MLSPServiceMethods.AddListItems() Failed: Cannot open database "WSS_Content" requested by the login. The login failed.
4/20/2010 10:21:01 AM Error copying list item: 1/2 (id: 1, title: Get Started with Windows SharePoint Services!): Service Error: [MLSPService could not add items: MLSPServiceMethods.AddListItems() Failed: Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))
2."db_owner" or "WSS_Content_Application_Pools" rights to the SharePoint Admin Content Database is required.
If the Web Service installing account does not have db_owner or WSS_Content_Application_Pools rights to the SharePoint_AdminContent, Content Matrix will not be able to create/paste site collections, and will receive an error.
With these cases in mind we have determined that the Metalogix Extensions Web Service account should be granter the db_owner permission rights, at a minimum, to allow Content Matrix to correctly migrate content to the target SharePoint instance.

Question
I would like to activate my license outside of the Content Matrix Console. Is that possible?
Answer
You can activate your Content Matrix license using PowerShell. Follow the steps below.
NOTE: This method can only be used for online activations.
1.Open the Content Matrix PowerShell Console.
2.Run the following cmdlet, which includes specifying the Content Matrix Console Edition for which you want to activate the license.
if (Get-Command Set-MetalogixJobPrerequisites -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){ Set-MetalogixJobPrerequisites -Value "Content Matrix Console - <Edition_name>" }
NOTE: Valid values for <Edition Name> are SharePoint Edition, FileShare Edition and Public Folder Edition. If you license covers more than one Edition, it is only necessary to activate one. The license activation will automatically be applied to any other Edition for which you are licensed.
3.Run the Set-MetalogixLicense cmdlet. Note that additional parameters are required if a proxy server is used.
Without proxy server:
Set-MetalogixLicense -Key "<license_key>"
With proxy server:
Set-MetalogixLicense -Key "<license_key>" -ServerUrl "<proxy_server_IP_addres>" -Port "<proxy_port_number>" -UserName "<user_account>" -Password "<password>"
NOTE: When entering the license key, include hyphens.
