Moving to a new computer

In the single-user version, it is possible to move Xpert-Timer from one computer to another without any problems.

Here is a detailed description of the procedure for single-user .

For single users:

1.Start Xpert-Timer on your old system and make a note of the database path. You can find this in the Project Manager under the menu item "Help" -> "About Xpert-Timer" -> "System Info".

2.Navigate to the path.

3.Exit Xpert-Timer.

4.Now copy the xt.mdb (database file) or xt.sqlite (database file) to a USB stick or network drive that you can also access from your new computer.

5.Now install the latest version of Xpert-Timer on your new system. Install the 30-day trial version.

6.Start Xpert-Timer and search for the path to the database again in the menu item "Help" -> "About Xpert-Timer".

7.Navigate to the path.

8.Exit the "new" Xpert-Timer.

9.Now copy and replace the "new" xt.mdb or xt.sqlite with the one from your old computer.

10. Start the "new" Xpert Timer. All data should now be visible on the new system.

If you receive a database error stating that the database format cannot be read, this may be because you copied the xt.mdb from the old computer while Xpert-Timer was still running on the old system. Make sure you completely exit Xpert-Timer before copying.
