I left the issue "as is", because I cannot replicate it on my test system with the same version, same hals, same xml import file, in single user and client-server mode.
This is not the issue of upgrade SERP. But serverip.dat in this case contains the value: 192.168.88.12:1301, so this is local IP of the server with SERP.
Anyway I don't understand what do you me...
