HomeBoxMinderHow Do I....Move the software package to a different/new computer.

5.9. Move the software package to a different/new computer.

If you need to move the software package to a new or different computer, you can follow these instructions.

First, you will need to run a backup of your database on the original machine and save it to either your network, or a flash drive so you can move the saved backup to the new machine.

If you have a USB Flash drive or if your machines are on a Network and the new machine is accessible you will need to run a Backup of your database and save the backup .zip file to your Flash Drive or to the new machines Desktop or network location that is accessible from your new machine.  If you save it to the USB Drive, then obviously you can sneakernet it to the new machine and stick it in there.

On the new machine, you can download and install the BoxMinder software from the www.boxminder.com web site. Make sure you select the SAAS version to install.  After installing the software, you can run the Backup/Restore option off the Windows Start button, BoxMinder, Backup/Restore, and select or point to the backed up .zip file that you saved from the previous step.  Then you would just need to click on Restore.  This will copy all your data and settings from the original computer and you should be about good to go.  

Eventually it will prompt you for the original registration codes, and we can send them to you if you do not have them and are a registered user
