Exporting Entire Bonus, Manufacturer, and User Catalogs From X15 to X16

[DHerb2014]

I've upgraded to X16 and want to know how to export all Bonus, Manufacturer, and User catalogs from X15? I spent over two hours downloading Bonus and Manufacturer catalogs in X15, and am hoping that there's a way to avoid the unproductive time to do this all again? Many thanks for comments.

Is X15 on the same computer as X16?  If so, then you should have been asked if you wanted to migrate your libraries when you first launched X16.  You can always get back to this dialog by going into your preferences and using the "reset migration" button.

 

If X15 is on a different computer, then you would have to manually backup and then restore your libraries.  This may or may not be faster than downloading them though depending on your internet speed.  Certainly not easier and you should be able to keep working while Chief is downloading your libraries in the background.

 

There is some pretty good info here:

This is more specific about backing up your libraries:

And this is how to restore them:

Yes, X16 is on the same PC computer as X15. Many thanks for the links and response!

 

One other aspect I totally forgot about is backing up the entire library and importing it into my MacBook Pro. I'll research the links and see if this can be done quickly on both platforms.
