Re: [amibroker] Migrating AB to a new computer.

Hello,

What I have done is

1. Install fresh copy (including upto latest beta) in new System.

2. Rename the AmiBroker directory (or maybe even delete since it contains nothing)

3. Either Zip and transfer the whole AB directory or better still, use Disk to Disk copy to copy the whole directory in same place where it was installed.

Do Note, that if you are using C: Drive in Old System, its better to use C: Drive in New System since formulas will get unlinked otherwise.

Also, Keyboard Hotkeys are not saved since they are in Registry and you have to re-create them again.

Cheers

Prashanth

  I did a search on this issue, but was confused by what seemed to be contradictions.  (The protocol seems to be install AB first, then transfer files and data, but one user had everything on a 1G flash drive that he moved between computers interchangeably.)

  In migrating to a new computer, is it correct that AB must be installed on the target computer first (via download), and the other files (data, indicators, etc.) are moved in a second, separate step?  There's no way to use a flash drive to transfer my registered AB copy and all it's associated files/data in one go?


  Luck to all, Happy New Year, and TIA for any responses,

  Sebastian
