So my old laptop are starting to struggle, just to stay alive :P

So the question is now how do i get reefmaster to the other computer, and can i open my current projects on the new computer without having to edit all the tracks and adjust water levels again ?

If there's a "finish step by step" I have overlooked, please share, as i'm not the best when it comes to working with computers.

Kind Regards Bjarke.

Hi Zinox,

You can install ReefMaster on 2 PC's at once. If you want to remove RM from your old laptop, your should go to the "About ReefMaster" window (top button, main toolbar) and click Deactivate license. This will free up that activation slot.

Workspaces will work if they are just copied over to your new PC. Copy the workspace folder and all of the contents, and the browse to the .rmdb workspace file to open the project. Once opened in the new PC, the workspace will appear in the recent workspace list on the start-up window. The workspace contains all depth data, so you won't need to re-adjust your sonar logs.

Important Note
Sonar logs are *not* part of the workspace, and are required by ReefMaster when displaying sonar in the sonar viewer. ReefMaster stores the absolute path to the original sonar log, and if it can't find a log it will display a window offering you the chance to locate it, after which the new location is stored.

If you want to view sonar in existing workspaces on your new PC, then you must copy the original sonar logs over. The easiest way to do this (as far as using ReefMaster is concerned) is to copy the logs into the same location on the new PC as they were in the old PC. E.g. if the logs were is C:\SonarLogs then make a directory with the same name on the new PC and put the logs there.

If you don't care about viewing sonar, then you don't need to bother with this step. RM will still work fine for creating maps.
