How to migrate my products and settings to another machine?

QLM Pro / Doc / Enterprise Users 5.2 or later

It is highly recommended that you backup your QLM License Server before migrating your products to a new client system.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure you NEVER  "upload products to the License Server" from the new system until it has the new product definitions. If you are presented with a confirmation to upload your products to the server, answer NO.

If the computer on which QLM is already installed is operational:

• Make a backup of the following folder, including subfolders, on the old system:
• %appdata%\Soraco\Quick License Manager
• %localappdata%\Soraco_Technologies_Inc\IsQuickLicenseMgr.exe_StrongName_<xxx>\w.x.y.x\user.config
• Install QLM on the new system but do not launch it yet
• Copy the backed up files from the %appdata% folder above to %appdata%\Soraco\Quick License Manager onto the new system
• Edit the profiles.xml file in a text editor
  • Locate the entries productsFile, queriesFile and emailTemplatesFolder
  • If the path is hardcoded for a specific user, update the path based on the new system's path
  • Repeat for all profiles
  • For example, if your user account on the old system was called "tom" if you see a path that looks like: "c:\users\tom\AppData\Roaming\Soraco\Quick License Manager\..." and your new user account is "tommy", you should update the path to be "c:\users\tommy\AppData\Roaming\Soraco\Quick License Manager\..."
• Launch QLM 
• Go to the Manage Keys tab and click Sites
• Select your Site
• Click "Download your products from the License Server"
• Click Ok
• Click Email Templates and make sure your email templates are visible
• Close QLM
• On the new system, go to the following folder in Windows Explorer: %localappdata%\Soraco_Technologies_Inc\IsQuickLicenseMgr.exe_StrongName_<xxx>\w.x.y.x
• Copy the backed-up user.config file to the folder above.

If the computer on which QLM is already installed is not operational:

• Install QLM on the new system
• Launch QLM 
• Go to the Manage Keys tab and click Sites
• Add your site
• Click "Download your products from the License Server"
