A simple way ...
1. Zip AmiBroker and get zip file on second PC.
2. Delete AmiBroker on second PC or otherwise clean it up by at least deleting
databases and formulas directories.
3. Do not open AmiBroker on second PC as of yet. Rather, install full version
of AmiBroker on new PC now and after step 2 to kind of clean ups stuff. Then,
load any update on second PC as well to make consistent with original PC from
#1.
4. Open AmiBroker on second PC. You will be fine UNLESS you have AmiBroker in
different location on second PC. If this is the case, then go to preferences on
second PC and correct to desired locations.

understand, it should be a "clean install", however, it is showing
some of the markets that I regularly use which aren't part of the AB
installation - SFE and ASX - and it is showing all the symbols, but with no
data. If I look in the data directory, the symbols don't exist.
