Re: Moving Software
 

Which Version of Hoster are you Using ?

Which versions of Windows is the old laptop ?

Which versions of Windows are the Desktop and the newer laptop ?

If your existing Hoster has the Backup/Restore function which would appear in the dropdown from the Help menu then first use that to make a backup on a separate USB stick or drive.
Answer these questions first and let us know if you have made the Backup OK.

its been awhile for me, I was a fifteen year hoster host, I retired from hosting about 3 years ago. I like to host at home now, I have a newer Laptop and a newer desktop, Both Dell Running windows 10.. my software at this time is on a Toshiba laptop running windows 7
I have Hoster version 5.08 and Microstudio version 4.24
I want to move the software to both the lap and desk top computers..(would you advise me to upgrade Hoster) any other info I need to provide to get this done? I do not see the backup / restore in my help drop down..I sure do need some help, step by step please...

I can't guarantee Hoster 5.08 would run correct on the later Windows versions, this change was made in 5.09 because of problems:


"

1. NEW - Programdata folder created to follow Microsoft Standards - We have had some problems of not being able to write to the C:\MTU\Hoster directory on some Windows 8 systems, this should clear it up.
   
   
   
   This version will MOVE your C:\MTU\Hoster Folder under Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 to the new location at C:\ProgramData\mtu.com\Hoster. Under Windows Xp it is MOVED to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\mtu.com\Hoster "
