Hello
I just bought a new computer, and will be moving all my poker stuff to that one.
I have seen bits and pieces about the process, but not seen a complete description, so I wanted to submit my plan:
1) register HEM on old computer to be able to reset later.
2) download and install HEM trial version on new computer.
3) transfer database.
if I understand correctly I can either:
a) make a database level backup on old computer, and restore it on new computer.
or:
b) export hands and tourney summaries, and import them on new computer
is this correct?
it seems to me that a database backup/restore is the simplest.
is there any advantage og doing it the export/import way?
what about the archives? do I need to transfer them too? I understand I will need them when I purchase Omaha Manager.
4) when I am sure all is ok, I will only use new computer for poker playing
5) I was planning on using the rest of the trial period on the new computer for trying out some of the HEM applications that I did not think of trying in my original trial. Is this acceptable?
6) when the new trial period ends, I will use the registration server to reset my registration to move it to the new copy.
7) uninstall the new defunct HEM on old machine.
does this sound like a valid plan?
anything you recommend I add to this process?
