Moving the Software to a New Computer

Overview

Moving the software to a new computer involves four steps: installing the software, transferring your data, activating your license, and reconfiguring your email settings.

Step 1: Install on the New Computer

1. Log in to your account at myk9t.com
2. Go to My Account → Downloads and download the latest version
3. Right-click the downloaded file and select Run as Administrator
4. Follow the installation prompts

Step 2: Transfer Your Data

Your data is stored in two files:

• myShare — contains your clubs, dogs, and people
• {application name}_data — contains your shows, trials, classes, and entries

The default location is C:\RyKris\{application name and version}\Data

1. On the old computer, click the Backup button on the Home page to create a backup
2. Copy the data files from the old computer to a USB drive or cloud storage
3. On the new computer, place the data files in the Data folder, replacing the sample files that came with the installation
4. If the software does not see your data, use the Re-Link button on the ribbon to point it to the correct data files

Step 3: Activate Your License

Your license key needs to be reset before it will work on the new computer. Open a support ticket and we will reset it for you. Then go to Help → License Activation and enter your key.

Step 4: Reconfigure Email Settings

Email and SMTP settings do not transfer automatically. You will need to set these up again on the new computer under Settings → Email.

Verification

After completing the setup:

• Open the About box to confirm the version number
• Check the Shows list and Dogs list to verify your data transferred correctly
• If you only see sample data, re-link to your data files using the Re-Link button
