......From One Computer to Another
Occasionally you need to move QuiltAlbum to another computer, including all the Quilts and other data you have entered. To accomplish this safely:
- Launch QuiltAlbum on your old computer. In the file menu at the top of your window, select File>Export File.. Follow the instructions for exporting a special file* that contains all your Quilt and other data. Save that file to a thumb drive or some other media you can use to transport it to your new computer.
- Once that file has been saved, select File>De-Activate from the file menu, and follow the instructions for de-activating QuiltAlbum on your old computer.
- Download the latest version of QuiltAlbum from the QuiltAlbum website (click here) onto your new computer and install it following the instructions. You will need your License Key to activate this new copy**.
- Once QuiltAlbum is installed on your new computer, insert your thumb drive (or other media) with the special data file on it. Select File>Import File from the file menu, and navigate to and select the special data file. Click OK and your Quilt data will automatically be imported into your new copy of QuiltAlbum.
* This special file cannot be used to launch QuiltAlbum. It can only be used for backup or as a means to transport data as described here.

If you are moving from Version 1 to Version 2 of QuiltAlbum the License Keys are identical except that the first three characters are QA2 instead of QA0. Don't forget the fourth character!
