Transferring Complete Files to Another Computer

Well folks, tried and succeeded...YEAH!! Directly copied the desktop's KMA file into the laptop's KMA file, the executed Hoster, selected SongDatabase, then hit Rebuild. It loaded everything perfectly. All I had to then was recreate the SongBook on the laptop & wha-lah!! Works great!

thats why we always back up our files and keep them in a safe place !

My plan is to keep the KMA files on the laptop for speed access & all the master files on my external. Folks...this software rocks. Anybody using anything else besides Hoster are crazy. Way to go MTU!! Can't wait to see future enhancements!!

Another question for the Hoster gurus. The MTU folder titled Hoster...if I copy the entire contents over to the laptop from my desktop, similar to what I did with the external KMA file, will it screw up the software already loaded in the laptop? In other words, are there items in the Hoster folder that should not be over-written to protect the license integrity?

the software needs to be installed, you cant drab and drop it on another computer. if you put all you KMA's on another computer that already has Kma's on it you will run into problems.

It really isn't a good idea. Since those files pertain only to that installation, then yes you could mess-up your screen settings and datbase for the laptop installation. Nothing with the license part, but just the operation of the work you have already done in the laptop copy of Hoster.

Roger that...thanks for the update. Thought to try & report on results, but rather listen to those who know. Appreciate it.
