HOW TO:  Move CARCare to a New PC


Background:
If you have been using CARCare on one PC and need to move it to a new PC, you will need to install CARCare on your new PC and then move your prior database to your new PC. This will enable you to continue using your prior data. Follow the steps below.
 
On your CURRENT PC:

  1. Make certain that you have the latest version of CARCare software on your current PC, and upgrade it if necessary

  2. Start CARCare for Windows

  3. Note the database filename and path in the main window titlebar

  4. Click Help | About... and note your registration key

  5. Close CARCare

  6. Copy your database file from your old PC to disk (e.g. CD-R/RW, Zip Disk, etc.)

On your NEW PC:

  1. Download and install CARCare for Windows on your new PC using the default settings

  2. Open CARCare for Windows

  3. Enter your Name and Registration key

  4. Close CARCare

  5. Copy your database file (e.g. CARCare.db) from your disk, to the "C:\Program Files\CARCare" folder on your NEW PC

 
When you re-start CARCare for Windows on your new PC, you should see your prior database. If your database name was something other than "CARCare.db", you will need to use the File | Database | Open... menu function to open the database.
