Robo-FTP User's Guide > License and Installation

Important

The following instructions apply only to the case where the version on the old machine is identical to the version on the new machine. If you are both upgrading to a new version and moving to another computer at the same time, do not follow the instructions below. Instead, refer to the Migration Guide for the latest version of Robo-FTP, which can be found on the main download page at https://www.robo-ftp.com.

1)Export settings from the old machine and import them on the new one using the "Export" and "Import" buttons in the Configurator Settings menu. Please note: Unless you see Administrator: in the Configurator title bar you will not be able to import or export settings for all users. If it is not there please choose the "System" option at configurator startup or run the configurator as Administrator.

2)After you import the settings file, make sure that any files or folders referenced in your command scripts also exist on the new computer. Note: The contents of the \ProgramData and \UserData folder are automatically included in the settings files restored in Step 1.

3)If your old computer has Robo-FTP installed as a service you'll need to reinstall the service on the new computer unless the service was installed using the Enterprise Dashboard.

4)If any of your scripts include the DBUSE command with the /odbc option you may need to recreate the associated ODBC DSN on the new computer.

5)Test to be certain everything is working to your satisfaction on the new machine and then click the "Activate Software License" button on the License menu in the Configurator. Follow the on-screen instructions in the license wizard window to transfer the license from the old machine to the new one.
