AB Drive Executive Lite

I am currently downloading the parameters for all of the AB VFDs in our facility. This is going to add up to over 200 drives when it's all said and done. A question that came up is if we will be able to use a different drive if or when we need to replace one. For instance, if the drive that goes bad is a Flex4 1HP and what we have on hand is a Flex4 2HP can we get the new drive to accept the parameters of the old drive by downloading them with the Drive Executive Lite software or will it not work because the drives are not identical? Another scenario would be we if lose a Flex4 and need to replace it with a Flex 523. Just putzing around with it on the bench I cannot get the parameters to download to a drive that is not identical to the orignal. Hopefully someone here can tell me if this can be done at all, or if I'm wasting my time trying.

Thanks,
Will.

not only that but drive executive is no longer supported. they are forcing everyone to migrate to CCW for drives.

some drive parameters can be exported into excel and then imported back to another drive but it is tedious and error prone.
