mtldesigns Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Maybe I'm not putting in the correct search words, but I could have swore I saw a post with steps of moving everything Chief to a new pc. Any help locating, or your own steps would be helpful. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think you will find a few tips here: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00001/backing-up-chief-architect-content.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00091/restoring-chief-architect-content.html Or just image your entire hard drive onto your new one or rip it out of your old computer and connect to the new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one license.. do I need to load Chief X14 on new pc first, and will loading new create just that standard OOB libraires? Then I can transfer the additional catalogs, user stuff after the fact? And loading on the new, will that cancel my X13 license on the old? I'm not sure how the license thing works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download as many copies of Chief as you want (I have one for my desktop and one for my laptop) but only one license can be active at a time.

Joe_Carrick Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 zinstall should handle everything. OTOH, you can always download anything that it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I didn't have to buy another license. I can have Chief loaded on as many computers as I want, but only one can be active at a time. 4 minutes ago, Joe_Carrick said: OTOH, you can always download anything that it doesn't. True! Hope this new big boy box helps w more speed and keeps my soffits from looking green. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
