Frequently Asked Questions

The procedure is basically the same as that detailed in PTFB Pro's Help under "Backing up and restoring", but here are the basics:

On the old PC:
1) On PTFB Pro's main screen, press the Options button and choose "Explore Data Folder..." from the resulting menu.
2) A window will open at the folder where all of PTFB Pro's data files kept. Make a manual backup of everything in this folder.

On the new PC:
1) Install PTFB Pro, run it, and again use "Explore Data Folder..."
2) Quit PTFB Pro while keeping the file window open
3) Copy the contents of your backup folder to the data folder on the new PC, overwriting as required.

This covers all the items you've created; you may also need to copy over your preferences, email setup and so on. This can either be done manually or via the registry. The registry method is covered in detail in the Help.

As for the license, simply use your existing license to register PTFB Pro on the new PC, then once everything is up and running, uninstall PTFB Pro from your old PC.
