Moving CORE PC data between workstations (v2.79 up)

Sometimes it may be necessary to move the CORE PC data from one workstation to another, for example if a machine is about to be de-commissioned. These instructions are for installations of CORE PC running v2.79 or later, for installations created with older versions please see Moving CORE PC data between workstations (upto v2.63)

To move your data:

On the old computer

  1. Go into CORE PC and click Tools and then Backup, making a note of the location that the backup will be saved.
  2. Move the backup file to your new PC (either copy it onto a memory stick or disc, or copy it over your network).

On the new PC

  1. Install CORE PC on the destination workstation - Perform the "Typical" CORE PC installation on the workstation where the data is going to be moved. Make sure the installation is complete by starting CORE PC, and either the login screen will appear, or the users will be prompted to enter their license details. Contact Core admin@coreims.co.uk with your product ID and they will provide you with these details.
