If you ever need to move your software and league data to a new computer, here’s a simple guide to help you out.

Common Situations:

  • You got a new computer and need to transfer everything over.
  • Your old computer crashed and has been repaired or restored.
  • You just want to move the software to a different computer.

Step 1: Back Up Your Data (On the Old Computer)

If your old computer and the program are still working, you’ll need to back up your data to a portable flash drive.
  1. Start the program: Open the software on your old computer.
  2. Backup your leagues:
    • Go to Maintenance > Backup League and back up each league one by one to the flash drive.
    • If the league is already open, select File > Close League first to access the Maintenance menu.
  3. Backup system files:
    • Go to Maintenance > Backup System Files and save them to the flash drive.
  4. Backup local awards:
    • Go to Maintenance > Backup Local Awards and save these files to the flash drive.
If the old computer isn’t working, try to find your most recent backup files. If you can’t locate any backups, you’ll need to re-enter your data manually.

Step 2: Restore Your Data (On the New Computer)

Once you’re ready to move everything to your new computer:
  1. Install the software:
    • Use the original CD, USB drive, or download the installer from our website.
  2. Register the software:
    • Use the product registration details you received from CDE Software.
  3. Restore your leagues:
    • Go to Maintenance > Restore League and restore each league one by one from the flash drive.
  4. Restore system files:
    • Go to Maintenance > Restore System Files and restore from the flash drive.
  5. Restore local awards:
    • Go to Maintenance > Restore Local Awards and restore from the flash drive.
And that’s it! Your software and league data should now be successfully moved to your new computer. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out for help!
