Moving AcuBase to Another Computer

Your software license permits you to install and use one copy of the program on one machine only. Situations will arise where you may buy a new machine or wish to simply move the program over to a different computer. Whether on a PC or a Macintosh (or between the two), you may move your software from one computer to another by doing the following: 

1.      Make a full backup of the AcuBase Pro directory / folder on your original computer (the one you wish to move data from) per the backup instructions above. Put the backup onto a Zip drive, CD, or other media.

2.      Install AcuBase Pro from the CD onto the newer computer (the one you wish to move data to) per the installation instructions above.

3.  Copy the contents of your backup file (all of files in the AcuBase Pro directory / folder on your backup media) into the newly-installed AcuBase Pro directory on the newer computer, replacing existing files.  (PC users, your files will be located at C:\Program Files\Trigram Software\AcuBase Pro by default, where “C:” equals the letter of your hard drive). Again, you will copy all of the files inside of the AcuBase Pro folder that you backed up into the newly installed AcuBase Pro folder on the new machine.  Simply copying the backed-up AcuBase Pro folder and pasting it inside of the newly installed AcuBase Pro folder will not work.
