If you are moving to a new computer and you want to have your old information inside the new version, there are certain things you must do. The old Coin Elite and your data MUST be on the new computer before installing the upgrade. There are three steps to this:
1. The old program MUST be installed on the new computer. It is not enought to just copy over some files. You must install the old Coin Elite on the new computer the way you did on the first computer. 2. If you have created extra collections on the old machine, you MUST create the collections on the new machine. i.e. if you have a total of 5 collections on the old machine then you will need to create 4 more collections( installing Coin Elite creates the first one) 3.Move your information form the old computer to the new one. Versions 8.x or newer of Coin Elite has it's own BACKUP and RESTORE features that can do this for you. The BACKUP will copy your information to a diskette or removable drive, the RESTORE feature copies the information form the diskette or removable drive and copy it into Coin Elite. Therefore use the BACKUP feature on the old computer, take the disk to the new computer, and do a RESTORE on the new computer. That should do it. Once Coin Elite and your data is on the new computer you can install the upgrade.
