How
do I move PCLaw (Windows) Versions 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to another Computer?
Perform
the following steps to move PCLaw from one computer to another. Since
both the programs and data are moved, no CD is required.
- Determine
the location of your PCLaw DATA and COMMON files.
To
determine the location of your PCLaw DATA files:
-
Start
PCLaw.
-
On
the Select Set of Books window, highlight your firm name.
-
The
location of your data files is listed at the bottom of the window
to the right of the word PATH.
To
determine the location of your PCLaw COMMON files:
-
Start
PCLaw.
-
Click
the Help pull-down menu.
-
Click About PCLaw.
-
Hold
down the Ctrl key and the Shift key on your keyboard
while you click Tech Support.
-
On
the Alumni Computer Group Data Directory Dump window, the
location of your common files is listed to the right of the word COMMON.
-
Make
sure no one is running PCLaw.
- Copy
the DATA and COMMON directories and their contents, including all
subdirectories, from the old computer to the new computer (or backup
these directories and restore them to the new computer).
Technical
Note: It is important that the DATA and COMMON subdirectories
are on the same directory level for the setup program to automatically
detect the PCLaw data.
-
Run
the SETUP program on the new computer:
- Click Start.
- Click Run.
- In
the Open box, type pclawpath\COMMON\INSTALL\SETUP
- (where pclawpath represents the location of the COMMON
directory on the new computer)
- Click OK.
- Follow
the instructions of the Setup Wizard.
Networking
Note: To connect a new workstation to a new dedicated server,
follow the instructions for a Workstation Installation in the PCLaw
for Windows User Guide. If the existing workstations are not being
changed, they will automatically run PCLaw on the new server as long
as the same drive letter is used to map to the new server as was used
to map to the old server.
CAUTION: Do not remove your original PCLaw until you have verified that the
program is working correctly with current data on the new computer.
