also will have new PC in the following month. Will it work if I just do clean install from .exe and manual export projects? Or better move all files as @Sven wrote on the post below? Will updates work normally?
you might want to copy the whole folder as it also holds the site lists and other things. That can be backed up via options (label on the left/bottom).
"it will work, but if you install e.g. under a different user, then some
of the configured pathes might be wrong...you can still change that in
GUI."
Sven, I didn't ever look at the config.ini files before. It's so convenient to be able to just scroll down and see at the settings!
I found that there were, indeed, a bunch of instances of the path from my old machine. I see that they could be changed in the SER GUI, as you said.
I didn't know Windows 10 would generate a User folder based on the first five letters of the silly e-mail I used to generate my account and register.
I am at the last step now: Just have to boot up the old machine and copy my serial numbers. This is the correct next step, no?
I had first installed the latest version downloads of the GSA software on the new machine, then overwrote it all with the Program Files and AppData from the (same version) instance of SER on the old machine.
OK; I just found old e-mails for the account associated with my GSA product purchases. Everything's now up and running. Still have to recreate the path to the profile image pics for engines that use that. I had put the folder on the desktop. I should really just move that. It's not a good place for them, anyway.
Is there anything else I need to do as far as Windows firewall rules? I am just using what comes with Win10 .
