You need to reinstall WFilter to switch to database version.



Please follow below steps:



1). Export all your settings to a backup file in "System Settings"->"Import/Export Settings".

2). Uninstall WFilter.

3). Reinstall WFilter to database version. (an available database is required).

4). Import the previous settings backup file.

5). Done.



Please notice: you only can import all the settings, the previous monitored data can not be merged to the database version.
