Title:
HOW TO:
Move FLEETMATE to a New PC
Background:
If you have been using FLEETMATE on one PC and need to move it and your
database file to a new PC, you will need to install FLEETMATE on your new PC and
then copy your prior database to your new PC. This will enable you to continue
using your prior data. Follow the steps below.
On your CURRENT PC:
-
Start FLEETMATE and note the database filename and path
in the titlebar of the main window
-
Click Help | About... and note your 16-digit registration key
-
Close FLEETMATE
-
Unless your database file is located on a server, copy your
database file (.fdb) from your old PC to removable media (e.g. CD-R/RW,
Thumbdrive, Zip Disk, etc.)
On your NEW PC:
-
Download and install FLEETMATE
on your new PC using the default settings
-
Unless your
database file is located on a server, copy your database file (e.g.
FLEETMATE.fdb) from your removable media to the "C:\Program Files\FLEETMATE" folder on your NEW PC
-
Start FLEETMATE
-
Enter your Company Name and Registration key, and click OK
If your database name was something other than "FLEETMATE.fdb", and/or
if your database file is located on a server, you will need to use the File
| Database | Open... menu function to open the database.
