Introducing ClipMate 7 > Installation... > Upgrading from ClipMate 6
If you have ClipMate 6 on your system, then you will want to keep these things in mind:
| 1. | Install ClipMate 7 into its own directory. |
| 2. | When you run ClipMate 6, it will ask if you would like to use the data and settings from version 6. If you choose yes, then version 7 will use the same database that you had before, possibly renaming the directory to reflect ClipMate 7. Once this has been done, older installations of ClipMate 6 cannot find the database. If you choose not to use the data and settings, it will install as a "fresh" installation. You can then import data from the v6 database by running a database restore (File | Database Maintenance | Restore Database) and using your last backup file, created with version 6. It's likely held in your "my documents" folder, and is named like this: ClipMate6_<databasename>_<date/time>.ZIP
ex: ClipMate6_DB_My Clips_2005-08-06_1519.ZIP |
| 3. | After you are comfortable with ClipMate 7, and have verified that all of your data is intact, you can then uninstall version 6 and remove its data directory. You may want to make an archive of the old data on CD-ROM, ZIP disk, etc.. |
| 4. | Note: Your ClipMate 6 registration key will not work - you must purchase an upgrade key from Thornsoft Development, or an authorized reseller. |
